Why are atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone together in nature?

atoms of lithium, sodium, and potassium almost never found alone in nature because t<span>hey have only one electron in their outer most shell which makes them very reactive and they react with other atoms thats why. I hope this can help you</span>

Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?

Firlakuza [10]

Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

A 1.50-mm-diameter glass sphere has a charge of + 1.60 nC. What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere 1.60 mm above th

saveliy_v [14]

Answer :

Velocity will be $3.28\times 10^{-11}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given glass surface has a diameter of 1.5 mm

And charge q = 1.60 nC

Radius of electrons orbit r = height of electron above surface + radius of sphere = $=1.6+\frac{1.5}{2}=2.35mm = 0.00235m$

Force on electron is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}$ , here q is charge on sphere and e is charge on electron

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{qe}{r^2}=\frac{kqe}{r^2}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.00235^2}=4.172\times 10^{-13}N$
