Democritus developed the atomic model. He theorized that atoms were specific to the material which they composed. He also believed that the atoms different in size and shape, were in constant motion in a void, collided with each other; and during these collisions, could stick together.

Which metal absorbs the greatest amount of heat energy

Fed [463]

Answer:

This question is incomplete but the completed question is in the attachment below. And the correct is b

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 kelvin. Thus, this means that when the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it takes more energy to increase the temperature of that substance. This also means that when different substances are subjected to the same amount of heat, the substance with the higher specific heat capacity will absorb less heat; for example at a beach, water has a very high specific heat capacity, thus when the sand in the beach is hot, the beach water is still relatively cold.

From the description above, <u>it can be seen that the metal with the least specific capacity will absorb the greatest amount of heat, thus the metal is lead</u> with the specific heat capacity of 0.129 J/(g. °C).

Anthracite coal d) is the most abundant grade of coal e) is very soft and burns at high temperatures a) causes the most air poll

forsale [732]

Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).

Explanation:

COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:

--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)

--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)

--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and

--> peat (60 % carbon).

Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
