Answer: Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into solids because they have no mass.

Reason:
Penetrating power of particle depending upon the velocity and mass of particle. Greater the mass and velocity. Higher will be the penetrating power. In case of Beta particles, they are electrons. Mass of an electron is 9.1 X $10^{-31}$ Kg. Due to such negligible mass, they have very low penetrating power.

In atomic solids where the lattice points are occupied by Group 8 ( 18) atoms, the atoms are held together by __________ forces.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

London dispersion forces

Explanation:

There are different forces of attraction that helps to hold atoms or Molecules of a particular substance together. Some of the forces of attraction are ionic/ electrovalent bond, covalent bond, vander waals forces of attraction and so on.

Under the vander waals forces of attraction we have what is known as the London dispersion forces. This force of attraction is a very weak and it is commonly found in the atoms of noble gases.

The intermolecular force of attraction in which we are talking about that is london dispersion forces is formed as a result of the formation of non-polar dipoles which are not permanent.

A series circuit has two 5.0-ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts. How will the current be affected and what will it be

miskamm [114]

The formula for solving current given with resistance and power source or voltage is shown below:
I = V/R

When two 5 ohms resistors are in series, we have:
I = 9 volts / (5+5 ohms)
I = 0.9 amperes

When it is being added with another 7.5 resistors, we have:
I = 9 volts / (5+5+7.5 ohms)
I = 0.529 ampere

The answer to the question is the letter "D. decrease; 0.51 amps".

The suggestion is to prevent a puddle of the liquid present in the sample from forming or from it leaking on to the surface on which it is placed. For example, if precipitates of a solid are removed from water and then placed on filter paper to dry, the water will soak into the filter paper and then leak on to the counter on which it is placed. If this precipitate were placed in a watch glass or weighing paper, the water would only evaporate and would not contaminate the sample.
