Solids have a definite lattice structure
sweet [91]3 years ago

The molecules of liquids and gases are quite apart that the attraction between them is quite weak compared to that of the solids. Hence, they only take the shape of their containers. On the other hand, solids have definite shape because of their well-structured lattice and that the molecules are closely packed together.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The percent error in his estimation is 30%

Explanation:

Percentage error = |UA- UE| \ UE × 100

UA= Actual value = 7 pounds

UE = Expected value = 10 pounds

Percent error of his estimate = ∣7-10∣ / 10 ×100

= ∣-3∣ / 10 × 100

= 30%

Why do the lighter isotopes disappear first from the atmosphere? Where do those isotopes go?
denpristay [2]

Lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the lighter isotopes.

<h3>What are lighter isotopes?</h3>
  • Lighter molecules are mobile and soon leave the higher atmosphere.
  • A particular element's stable isotopes have slightly different atomic masses and quantum mechanical energies.
  • The lighter isotope of an element's chemical bonds are more easily broken than the heavier isotope's.
  • As a result, the light isotope typically benefits from chemical reactions.

Thus, we can conclude that, lighter molecules move fast and escape from the upper atmosphere relatively quickly.

How should the distance, D, between two point charges, q1 and q2, be changed to double their electric potential energy
Licemer1 [7]

The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position

u \:  =  \:  \frac{kq1q2}{d}

Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion

There is a form of light that is very energetic and can cause damage to living cells and tissues. The Sun emits this type of lig
sattari [20]

Ultraviolet light. It can cause skin cancer and that is why we wear sunscreen. We also wear sunglasses because some research has shown that it can damage eyes. Although it can be dangerous, it can also kill certain bacterias.
