Explain why Lithium is a cation?

Physics
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Unlike the other alkali metals, lithium has a single valence electron and can easily be delivered to form a cation. Of this reason, lithium is a strong heat and electricity conductor as well as a highly reactive element although it is the least reactive of alkali metals.

Two point charges lie on the x axis. A charge of + 2.30 pC is at the origin, and a charge of − 4.50 pC is at x=−11.0cm.
Radda [10]

r₁ = distance of point A from charge q₁ = 0.13 m

r₂ = distance of point A from charge q₂ = 0.24 m

r₃ = distance of point A from charge q₃ = 0.13 m

Electric field by charge q₁ at A is given as

E₁ = k q₁ /r₁² = (9 x 10⁹) (2.30 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.13)² = 1.225 N/C     towards right

Electric field by charge q₂ at A is given as

E₂ = k q₂ /r₂² = (9 x 10⁹) (4.50 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.24)² = 0.703 N/C    towards left

Since the electric field in left direction is smaller, hence the electric field by the third charge must be in left direction

Electric field at A will be zero when

E₁ = E₂ + E₃

1.225 = 0.703 + E₃

E₃ = 0.522 N/C

Electric field by charge "q₃" is given as

E₃ = k q₃ /r₃²

0.522 = (9 x 10⁹) q₃/(0.13)²

q₃ = 0.980 x 10⁻¹² C = 0.980 pC

What is the explanation for how a modern transmission electron microscope (TEM) can achieve a resolution of about 0.2 nanometers
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

A simple light microscope uses light for imaging of objects where as a transmission electron microscope uses a monochromatic beam of electrons.

This beam is passed by a magnetic field which is very strong and thus act as a lens.

Its resolution of very high which is about 0.2 nanometers because of the separation between two atoms.

Because of this reason its resolution is about 1000 times greater than light microscope.

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature

R= gas constant
