When saturated air is cooled what happens to its dew point

1 answer:

6 0

When saturated air is cooled, it simply reaches its dew point. Dew point is simply the temperature at which dew begins to form.

Dew point of saturated air is already pre-determined by how much water vapor the air contains. A state of saturation exists when the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor possible at the existing temperature and pressure. The higher the dew point, the higher the moisture content of the air. Cooling does not change the dew point of saturated air, rather its the level of saturation.

So if the air has more moisture, dew will form at a higher temperature and vice versa, but dew point is NEVER EVER GREATER than the air temperature.

Covalent bonds form because most atoms seek to have how many electrons in their most outer shell?

suter [353]

Answer: 8

Explanation:

Non metals which have 4 electrons in the outer shell i.e in the valence shell bond with the other similar non metals having 4 electrons in their valence shell. This bond is known as covalent bond in which the two atoms share their valence electrons with each other in order to complete their valence shell. These atoms seeks to have 8 electrons in order to attain noble gas configuration.
