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.

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
nevsk [136]
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

Through which medium would sound travel the fastest, water, a steel bar, or nitrogen gas explain
777dan777 [17]
It would travel faster through a steel bar, because sound waves travel by vibrating molecules in a medium. In solids, these molecules are spaced closer together, causing sound to travel faster through it. so that means the second fastest medium is liquid and the slowest is gas

The 17 foot ladder leans against a wall from a point that 3.3 feet away from the wall on the ground. What is the angle between t
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

11.2°

Explanation:

Using the trigonometry ratio,

Note: Assuming the ladder, the wall and the horizontal forms a right angle triangle.

Cosθ = Opposite/Hypotenuse

SinΦ = O/H.......................... Equation 1

Where Φ = angle between the ladder and the wall, O = opposite, H =Hypotenuse.

make Ф the subject of the equation,

Ф = sin⁻¹(O/H).................. Equation 2

Given: O = 3.3 foot, H = 17 foot

Ф = sin⁻¹(3.3/17)

Ф = sin⁻¹(0.194/

Ф = 11.19°.

Ф = 11.2° ( to the nearest tenth degree)

Hence the ladder and the wall makes an angle of 11.2°
