What gives Kevlar its bulletproof strength?

Chemistry
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

aromatic stacking

Explanation:

Kevlar derives its bulletproof strength from aromatic stacking of its molecules. Although like most compounds having hydrogen bonds, it is quite strong but its unique property which makes it useful due to its strength is as a result of aromatic stacking.

It is an aromatic polymer made up of several units  of monomers of terephthalic acid and 1,4-diaminobenzene.

The stack maximizes the hydrogen bonds and the amide linkages which therefore furnishes its unique strength.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break a carbon–carbon bond is 343.75 nm.

Explanation:

E = hc/λ

E: energy = 348 000 J / 6.022 x 10²³ = 5.7788 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h: Planck's constant = 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c: speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s

λ: wavelength

λ = hc/E

λ = (6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s x 299 792 458 m / s) /  5.7788 x 10⁻¹⁹J

λ = 3.4375 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 343.75 nm

What is the difference between metals and non metals on the periodic table
Vilka [71]

Answer:

On the periodic table, metals are separated from nonmetals by a zig-zag line stepping through carbon, phosphorus, selenium, iodine, and radon. ... Elements just to the left of the line may be termed metalloids or semimetals and have properties intermediate between those of the metals and nonmetals.
