Explain why semiconductors, or metalloids, deserve their name.

Physics
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because their properties like conductivity, electronic configuration and ionization lies in between the metals and nonmetals.

Explanation:

There are a total of six elements that fall in the category of semiconductors.

Namely these are boron, silicon, germanium, arsenic, antimony, and tellurium.

These elements look like metals i.e. are lustrous but do not conduct electricity  so well like a metal does.

Their chemical behavior falls between that of metals and nonmetals. For example, the pure metalloids form covalent crystals like the nonmetals, but like the metals, they generally do not form mono-atomic anions.

What is the triboelectric effect?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The triboelectric effect is an electrical phenomenon where certain materials become electrically charged after coming into contact with another, different, material. The polarity and strength of the charges produced differ according to material and surface smoothness.

Explanation:

The triboelectric effect causes an electrostatic charge to build up on the fur due to the cat's motions. The electric field of the charges results in a slight attraction of the light plastic pieces to the charged fur. The triboelectric effect is also the cause of static cling in clothes.

I hope this helps, if it doesn't then just message me and ill be more than happy to help :)

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply the formula of Doppler effect here

F( APPARENT) = F( REAL ) X V/(V + Vs) [ v is velocity of sound and Vs is velocity of source.

415 = 440 X 343/343+Vs

142345 + 415Vs = 150920

415 V₀ = 8575

V₀ = 20.66 m/s.

Can a compound be separated by physical means?
Julli [10]

No,  it is not possible.
A compound is a substance or material constituting of two or more elements that have been chemically combined together to form a new, different substance

Any elements that have been joined together chemically can only be separated back into their constituent elements by chemical means because the bonds holding them together can only be broken using chemical means.

A good example is sodium chloride, table salt. Poisonous chlorine gas and toxic sodium metal react together whereby sodium loses one electron which chlorine readily accepts and in the process an ionic bond is formed between the two resulting in a totally new, harmless compound , sodium chloride.

Only through electrolysis can sodium chloride be separated back into sodium and chlorine gas. No physical means can be used to do that.
