Chemistry
1 answer:
MaRussiya [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: -

Metals are ductile instead of brittle because they have flexible bonds.

Explanation: -

Metals have a property called ductility.

It is the ability of a metal to be drawn into wires.

Metals due to greater bond flexibility are more ductile.

The most ductile metal known to man is Gold. Metallic wires find many applications in modern machinery particularly.

Usually ductility and malleability go together.

How is it that an electron can cause your brain to “see” color without ever leaving its atom?
iogann1982 [59]
Light receptors with in the eye transmit messages to the brain, which procedures is the familiar sensations of color. Newton observed that color is not inherit in objects. Rather the surface of an object reflects some colors and absorbs all the others. We perceive only the reflective colors.

g 1.000 atm of oxygen gas, placed in a container having a pinhole opening in its side, leaks from the container 2.14 times faste
Ivan

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

1.000 atm of Oxygen gas, placed in a container having apinhole opening in its side. leaks from the container 2.14 timesfaster thatn 1.000 atm of an unknown gas placed in this sameapparatus. Which of the following species could be theunknown gas?

A. CL2

B. SF6

C. Kr

D. UF6

E. Xe

Answer:

SF6

Explanation:

From Graham's law;

Let the rate of diffusion of oxygen be R1

Let the rate of diffusion of unknown base be R2

Let the molar mass of oxygen by M1

Let the molar mass of unknown gas be M2

Hence;

R1/R2 = √M2/M1

So;

2.14/1 = √M2/32

(2.14/1)^2 = M/32

M= (2.14/1)^2 × 32

M= 146.6

This is the molar mass of SF6 hence the answer above.
