Answer:

Accuracy of values

Explanation:

They're correct due to margin error of ±0.5 during an experiment.

1 min 15 seconds is equivalent to 75 seconds.

However the other one was 75.5 seconds.

Using the margin error of ±0.5 during recording, they're both correct.

Note : Accuracy is the closeness of agreement between a measured value and a true or accepted value. Measurement error is the amount of inaccuracy.

Precision is a measure of how well a result can be determined (without reference to a theoretical or true value). It is the degree of consistency and agreement among independent measurements of the same quantity; also the reliability or reproducibility of the result.

The uncertainty estimate associated with a measurement should account for both the accuracy and precision of the measurement.

In this case, this is an argument of who was more accurate and judging by this standard, they're both accurate but not necessarily precise since their values are not exact with each other.

Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How
Basile [38]

Answer:

B.) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

Silicon is located in the 3rd row and 14th column in the periodic table. Arsenic is located in the 4th row and 15th column in the periodic table. This means that arsenic has one more valence electron than silicon. Since arsenic is located one row down from silicon, its valence electrons occupy higher energy orbitals.

Silicon maintains a crystal-like lattice structure. Each silicon atom is covalently connected to assume this shape. When silicon gains one extra electron from arsenic, it experiences n-type doping. This new electron is not tightly bound in the lattice structure. This allows it to move more freely and conduct more electricity. This can also be explained using band gaps. Silicon, which previously had an empty conduction band, now has one electron in this band. This lowers the band gap between the conduction and valence bands and increases conductivity.

What makes calcium and nitrogen different list two differences
liberstina [14]

Answer:

the difference in electronegativity is so large (2.04) that the bonding electrons spend almost all their time on the nitrogen atom.

Explanation:

Because calcium loses 2 electrons to become Ca2+, and nitrogen gains 3 electrons to become N3−, you need two calcium atoms and three nitrogen atoms in order to form a neutral compound.
