Answer:

There will be 3N electron states in a p band.

Explanation:

In chemistry it is learned that under normal conditions atoms that have 4 electrons in the last valence shell are not stable. Semiconductors fall into this group, but because of the way in which they group their atoms, they can achieve stability by making four covalent chemical bonds, getting 8 electrons in the last shell, and consequently becoming chemically stable. However, semiconductors form Energy Bands. The above question is referring to a semiconductor.

Each energy level in a semiconductor splits, forming a series of atoms next to each other known as energy bands. The number of atoms within these bands will be equal to the sum of all equivalent atoms of the N atoms present in the semiconductor solid. For example, an s band will consist of N atoms and a p band of 3N atoms.

Number of states present in each band will be equal to total of all the states contributed by N atoms.

For instance, s band will contain N states.

Similarly, a p band will contain 3N states.

when 2.40 moles of sodium react with 5.90 moles of chlorine gas in the reaction shown above, how many moles of sodium chloride a

frutty [35]

First we look at the chemical reaction:

2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

Now we should see which is the limiting reagent, so we construct the following reasoning:

if 2 moles of Na reacts with 1 mole of Cl₂

then 2.4 moles of Na reacts with X moles of Cl₂

X = (2.4 × 1) / 2 = 1.2 mole of Cl₂ (way lower that the available quantity of chlorine).

So the limiting reagent is sodium, and from here we can calculate the number of moles of NaCl produced.

if 2 moles of Na produces 2 moles of NaCl

then 2.4 moles of Na produces Y moles of NaCl

Y = (2.4 × 2) / 2 = 2.4 moles fo NaCl (sodium chloride)

From the list below, choose which groups are part of the periodic table. metals acids flammable gases nonmetals semimetals ores

iris [78.8K]

The periodic table of the elements are describe the electronic configuration of the elements on which the properties of the elements depends. Among the given groups only metal, non-metal and semi-metal group are the part of periodic table. The metallic property depends upon the binding energy of the electrons with the nucleus. Thus the elements which have the valence electrons more near to the nucleus that is s-block elements are more metallic in nature. On the other hand the elements which have the valence electrons far from the nucleus are more non-metallic in nature like p-block elements. However the binding energy or the attraction of the outermost electrons to the nucleus depends not only its valence electrons position but also some other factors like shielding effect, effective nuclear charge etc.

The elements which are in between the metals and non-metals can be classified as semi-metals.

Although the conductivity of a material is an inherent property of the metals but sometime the nonmetals or semi-metals are also behave like a conductor due to presence of the other elements, thus it cannot be a p[property of the periodic table. Similarly acidity, flammable gases are not part of the periodic table.

When will have cation felourine??

AleksandrR [38]

Fluorine is a chemical element with symbol F and atomic number 9. It is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. As the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine

A steel beam that is 7.00 m long weighs 326 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

Suki is 1.12 m close to the end of the steel beam before the beam begins to tip

Explanation:

To solve the question we list out the known variables first

Length of steel beam, L = 7.00 m

Weight of steal beam W = 326 N

Distance between supports = 3.00 m

Weight of Suki = 555 N

By moments theory, the sum of moments about a point = 0

and assuming the steal beam is uniform, the weight of the beam will act at the center of the beam

As described the supports are 2.00 m from each end of the beam thus

taking moments about one of the support with Suki between the end of the beam and the support we have

Distance from center of beam to support = 1.5 m

Distance of Suki to the nearest support = x m

therefore 555 × x + 326 × 1.5 = 0

or x = -0.881 m on the other side of the support

Therefore Suki is (2 - 0.881) m or 1.12 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip
