Why is surface tension important to life on earth?

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnZ [28]3 years ago
6 0
<span>Surface tension is most prevalent in earth's most important compound, water. "Normal" water at ambient temperature has a high surface tension, but the addition of different chemicals can alter this. The relationship between the molecules affects the fluidity of the liquid and it's ability to support pressure</span>

Can someone plz explain ionic and covalent bonding plzzzz!!!
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Ionic Bonding: The formation of an Ionic bond is the result of the transfer of one or more electrons from a metal onto a non-metal.

Covalent Bonding: Bonding between non-metals consists of two electrons shared between two atoms.

Define and then describe the difference between a polar covalent bond, nonpolar covalent bond and ionic bond.
Romashka [77]
Polar covalent bond-  a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.

Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.

Ionic bonds- have such  large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. How long will it take for 112. 5 g of a 120. 0-g sample to decay radioactively? 5,730
vichka [17]

The time taken by Carbon-14 to decay radioactively from 120g to 112.5g is 22,920 years.

<h3>How do we calculate the total time of decay?</h3>

Time required for the whole radioactive decay of any substance will be calculated by using the below link:

T = (n)(t), where

  • t = half life time = 5730 years
  • n = number of half life required for the decay

Initial mass of Carbon-14 = 120g

Final mass of Carbon-14 = 112.5g

Left mass = 120 - 112 = 7.5g

Number of required half life for this will be:

  • 1: 120 → 60
  • 2: 60 → 30
  • 3: 30 → 15
  • 4: 15 → 7.5

4 half lives are required, now on putting values we get

T = (4)(5730) = 22,920 years

Hence required time for the decay is 22,920 years.
