Answer:

  • <u><em>Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions, whereas mercury atoms move around while staying close together. </em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>solid </em>state of matter is characterized by rigid crystalline structures, in which <em>atoms </em>can vibrate around a fixed position. That is why <em>solids</em> have definite shape and volume, and cannot flow. This is described in the last statement when it states <em>"Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions"</em>

The <em>liquid </em>state of matter is characterized by the <em>atoms </em>being more separated than in<em> solids.</em> While the <em>atoms </em>in the liquid are not completely free to move, they can slide past the neighboring atoms, which gives them the property to flow. Therefore, the liquids, although they have a defined volume, take the form of the container. This is what the last statement describes as "mercury atoms move while remaining together"

How do i solve number 36?

To cut this short and for your understanding, ionic bond is formed between metals (mostly right column in periodic table). Covalent bond is formed between non-metals (mostly left column in periodic table). So polar covalent is also a covalent bond but it is polar, which means the shape of molecules are not symmetrical hence maybe an atom in a molecule has most of the electron attracted to it causing itself to be partial negative (since electron are negatively charged) and the other atom has its electron being attracted by others became partial positive. Polar covalent can also be when H atom is binding either to F, O or N (also known as hydrogen bond).

PLEASE HELP!!! I need info regarding these guys and what they did to help with the discovery of atoms. Please ONLY ANSWER IF YOU

Democritus was the one who had theorized that atoms make up everything and they are indivisible.
Dalton was the creator of the first actual atomic theory, most of his research was on gasses and meteorology.
Thompson was the original man who put together the plum pudding model in which Rutherford later proved wrong during his career.
Rutherford had discovered the nucleus within an atom. He had put together gold foil experiment.
Bohr had developed the idea of neutrons and electrons surrounding the nucleus. He was also the creator of the planetary model we now use to calculate electrons with.

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
