Allotropes are different forms of the same element. Different bonding arrangements between atoms result in different structures with different chemical and physical properties. Allotropes occur only with certain elements, in Groups 13 through 16 in the Periodic Table.

An allotrope is a variant of a substance consisting of only one type of atom. It is a new molecular configuration, with new physical properties. Substances that have allotropes include carbon, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorous. Allotropes of a given substance will often have substantial differences between each other. For example, one allotrope of carbon, fullerene, is many times stronger and lighter than steel. An allotrope should not be confused with phase, which is a change in the way molecules relate to each other, not in the way that individual atoms bond together.

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹

Two metals of equal mass with different heat capacities are subjected to the same amount of heat. which undergoes the smallest c

liraira [26]

So when two metals of equal mass but different heat capabilities are subjected to same heat quantity, the metal with higher heat capacity have the small temperature change. Heat supplied is determined as heat capacity of the metal times the change in temperature.

Calculate the temperature change when 1000J of heat is supplied to 100g of water. Please explain

jasenka [17]

Answer:

It is sensible heat- the amount of heat absorbed by 1 kg of water when heated at a constant pressure from freezing point 0 degree Celsius to the temperature of formation of steam i.e. saturation temperature

So it is given as - mass× specific heat × rise in temperature

i.e. 4.2 × T

4.2 × (100–0)

So it is 420kj

If you ask how much quantity of heat is required to convert 1 kg of ice into vapour then you have to add latent heat of fusion that is 336 kj/kg and latent heat of vaporization 2257 kj/kg (these two process occur at constant temperature so need to add rise in tempeature)

So it will be

Q= 1×336 + 1× 4.18 ×100 + 1× 2257

Q = 3011 kj

Or 3.1 Mj

Hope you got this!!!!!!

A 5.0-kg rock and a 3.0 × 10−4-kg pebble are held near the surface of the earth.(a)Determine the magnitude of the gravitational

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a). Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on each by the earth.

Rock: $F = 49.06N$

Pebble: $F = 29.44N$

(b)Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of each object when released.

Rock: $a =9.8m/s^{2}$

Pebble: $a =9.8m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation is defined as:

$F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects and r is the distance between them.

Case for the rock $m = 5.0 Kg$ :

m1 will be equal to the mass of the Earth $m1 = 5.972×10^{24} Kg$ and since the rock and the pebble are held near the surface of the Earth, then, r will be equal to the radius of the Earth $r = 6371000m$ .
