Answer:

metallic bond

sea of delocalized electrons

Explanation:

Copper has Cu2+ atoms arranged in layers and held together by a sea of electrons in lattice form. The sea of electrons or de-localized electrons are provided by Cu. Each copper atom contributes 2 electrons to the sea for binding of Cu2+ atom layer.

The sea of electrons are highly mobile and require a very small potential difference across the atoms to push these electrons to form a current. The mobility, ease and freeness of these electrons allows copper to be a good electrical conductor

Answer:

a. metallic bond

b. the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “cloud” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

c. due to the presence of free electrons in its outer energy levels

Find a numerical value for rhoearth, the average density of the earth in kilograms per cubic meter. Use 6378km for the radius of
mylen [45]

Answer:

density = 5520 kg/m^3

Explanation:

given that

radius of earth = 6378 km

G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ m³/kg.s²

g = 9.80 m/s²

we know,

g = \dfrac{GM}{r^2}

mass of earth

M = \dfrac{gr^2}{G}

M = \dfrac{9.8 \times (6378 \times 10^3)^2}{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}

M = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

density =\dfrac{mass}{volume}

V = volume of the earth = 4/3πr³

V = 4/3 x 3.14 x (6378  x 10³)³

V = 1.08 x 10²¹ m³

density = \dfrac{5.972\times 10^{24}}{1.08\times 10^{21}}

density = 5.52 x 10³  kg/m^3

density = 5520 kg/m^3

The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4eV. calculate the optimum wavelength of light for photovoltaic generation in a GaAs solar cell
Viktor [21]

Answer:

λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm

Explanation:

The energy band gap is given as:

Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV

Converting this to Joules (J)

E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm</u>

which of these is not a physical property of matter? select one: a. flammability b. color c. hardness d. density
netineya [11]
I believe the answer your looking for is A. Flammability. Because flammability is a chemical property, not a physical one. Hope this helps :)
