Your friend says that the primary difference between a solid and a liquid is the kind of atoms in the material. Do you agree or

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

I disagree with my friend because, the primary difference is not in the kind of atoms, rather it is the arrangement of atoms and molecules that distinguishes solids and liquids.

Atoms are closely packed in solid and hence large cohesive forces act between atoms in solids whereas in liquids atoms are at a distance from each other, hence, less cohesive force act between it's atoms. Moreover, due to loose packing in liquids atoms are free to move in space and hence liquids can flow whereas solids cannot.

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for the electrons is called
Karolina [17]

If the atoms that share electrons have an unequal attraction for electrons, the bond is called a Polar covalent bond.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

A covalent chemical bond is formed in case of two different non-metals when one or more electron pairs are shared between bonding atoms. A difference in electronegativity of subsequent atoms of a covalent bond leads to formation of a small net charge around nucleus of each atom, pulling the shared electrons to one side of the bond, to the nucleus which has higher electronegativity.

HCl is an example of polar covalent bond and the HCl bond has Chlorine more electronegative. The bonding electrons are more close to Cl than H and hence Cl is partially negatively charged than H which has partial positive charge (HCl bond : H^{+} - Cl^{-}). When electrons shared in a covalent bond have equal attraction, the bond is a Non-Polar covalent bond.

guajiro [1.7K]
Explanation:

Two objects that only have the force of gravity acting on them, will fall with the same acceleration <span>g=9.8<span>m<span>s2</span></span>; g=32.2<span><span>ft</span><span>s2</span></span></span> and will therefore hit the ground at the same time.

When you drop a feather, air resistance acts on all the surfaces of the feather. This causes the feather to slow down.

Air resistance depends on two factors: the speed of the object (increased for example by throwing it), and its surface area.



hope this can give u a little bet more to know about how to get ur answer :P 

have a gud day and gud luck!

For the answer to the question above,
we can get the number of fringes by dividing (delta t) by the period of the light (Which is λ/c). 

fringe = (delta t) / (λ/c) 

We can find (delta t) with the equation: 

delta t = [v^2(L1+L2)]/c^3 

Derivation of this formula can be found in your physics text book. From here we find (delta t): 

600,000^2 x (11+11) / [(3x10^8)^3] = 2.93x10^-13 

2.93x10^-13/ (589x10^-9 / 3x10^8) = 149 fringes 

This answer is correct but may seem large. That is because of your point of reference with the ether which is usually at rest with respect to the sun, making v = 3km/s.
