Which is most likely true about electronegativity?

2 answers:

3 0

It tends to increase across a period.
This is visible in the first period, where Nitrogen is less electronegative than Oxygen which is less electronegative than Fluorine.

Answer:

It tends to increase across a period.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom in a bond pair to attract the shared pair of electron towards itself.

Low ionization energies as well as low electron affinities mean the atom has low effective nuclear charge, which results in the less attraction of the valence electrons by the atom and thus, low electronegativity.

Thus, across the period, electronegativity increases and down the group, it decreases.

What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unch

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Potential difference and charge will also increase.

Explanation:

Asking that :

What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged?

The charge is directly proportional to area of the plate. That is, increase in area of the plate of a capacitor will lead to the increase in the charges between the plates.

And since charge is also proportional to the magnitude of potential difference between the plates from the definition of capacitance of a capacitor which says that:

Q = CV

Therefore, increase in the area of the plate will also lead to increase in potential difference between the plates.

Therefore, if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged, the charge and potential difference between them will also increase.

What process is a method of heat transfer but does NOT contribute significantly to heating the surface or atmosphere of the eart

klasskru [66]

Answer:

conduction

Explanation:

Conduction is a method of heat transfer, where two objects exchange heat by touching, but does not contribute to moving heat through earth's atmosphere, because the atmosphere is so sparse it does not transmit heat through conduction effectively. Insulation is not a method of heat transfer.

Calculate the acceleration due to gravity inside earth as a function of the radial distance r from the planet's center. (hint: i

denis-greek [22]

An estimated value for gravity at a distance r from the middle of the Earth can be gotten by supposing that the Earth's density is spherically symmetric. The gravity hinge on only on the mass inside the sphere of radius r. All the assistances from outside cancel out as a fall out of the inverse-square law of gravitation. Another result is that the gravity is the same as if all the mass were concentrated at the midpoint. Therefore, the gravitational acceleration at this radius is
g(r) = GM(r) / r²
M(r) = mass enclosed by radius r.
If the Earth had a continual density ρ, the mass would be M(r) = (4/3)πρr³ and the dependence of gravity on distance would be
g(r) = (4/3)πGρr
G = 6.674e-11 m³/kgs²

Explain why sliding friction is less than stactic friction

Alik [6]

Answer:

here it is...

Explanation:

The friction between the two surfaces is because of the interlocking of the irregularities of the two surfaces. During sliding, contact points do not get enough time to get interlocked properly. Therefore, less friction. ... This explains why sliding friction is less than static friction.
