Answer:

Magnetic materials have many spinning, unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Any moving electric charge creates a magnetic field, also electrons since they spin and move around the nucleus. However, if two electrons are paired on the same orbital they always spin in opposite directions that causes their magnetic field to cancel out. Even if there are unpaired electrons in some atoms and these atoms act as small magnets, the magnetic field of the neighbouring atoms can have different directions and they also cancel out each other. Only presence of a large number of unpaired electrons in a material can create a significant magnetic field. This is the root part of the definition of magnetic properties of material.

Juan amd kym have four samples of matter. They are observing and describing the properties of these samples. Which property will

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:

--> if the substance has a definite shape,

-->if the substance has a definite volume

--> if it's tightly packed.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.

Matter can exist in the following states:

--> Solid state

--> liquid state or

--> Gaseous state.

The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:

--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.

--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.

--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.

From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is A. 101.325 kPa. B. 651.605 kPa. C. 448.955 kPa. D. 277.28

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Absolute pressure is sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.

That is

$P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}$

We have

$P_{abs}=550.280 kPa\\\\P_{atm}=1atm=101325Pa=101.325kPa$

Substituting

$P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}\\\\550.280=P_{gauge}+101.325\\\\P_{gauge}=448.955kPa$

Option C is the correct answer.

Which option is an example of a chemical property?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hi there, the correct answer is C. Reactivity. I know this is the correct answer because I took this quiz recently. Color, boiling point, and density are all examples of physical properties.
