Radio waves have a lower frequency than x rays.
vichka [17]3 years ago

<u>Answer: </u>X-rays have shorter wavelength and high energy, therefore they affect more than radio waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Radio waves and X-rays are a type of electromagnetic waves which have both electrical and magnetic components associated with them.

X-rays have shorter wavelength than radio waves.

Relationship between the energy of the waves and the wavelength is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where,

E = energy of the wave

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of the wave

From the above relation, energy is inversely related to the wavelength. As, the wavelength decreases, energy of the wave increases and vice-versa.

As, energy of the X-rays is more, they have high penetration power and hence, will harm the body more.

What state of matter is at 35 Celsius
Otrada [13]
Different forms of matter have different melting/boiling points. For example, at 100 degrees Celsius, H2O (water) will turn from lliquid to gas. But NaOH (table salt) doesn't even go from solid to liquid until some 800 degrees Celsius. So, in order to figure out which state matter is at 35 Celsius, you'd have to be more specific about what kind of matter...

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is shown below.
lesantik [10]
Remark
The balance numbers in front of Ag and AgNO3 are both 2. That number is in moles.

Rule: if the moles are the same in the equation, then whatever you are given for one, will be the same for the other. So you have 0.854 moles of Ag. You will also have 0.854 moles of AgNO3 

Answer: 0.854 <<<<<

Metals have low ionization energies and readily share their ________ or outer electrons with each other to form an electron ____
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.  

But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.

Please help! If a forensic chemist discovers evidence through examination which would prove a person guilty of a crime, why then
Bogdan [553]

Explanation: You cannot be convicted of a crime without evidence. You cannot be convicted of a state crime. You cannot be convicted of a federal crime. If there is no evidence against you, under the law, it simply is not possible for the prosecutor's office to obtain a conviction at trial. So, when you do have evidence it is really impossible to not get convicted unless the judge truly believes your side of the story and declares you not guilty.

I hope this helped :) If not i'm sorry!
