Are covalent compounds and covalent molecules the same thing ?

1 answer:

8 0

Not much difference.
A covalent bond is formed between two elements of similar Electronegativity. Practically pure covalent bonds are possible only in homonuclear diatomics(O2,H2,etc.). All other strong bonds are either polar(considerable electronegativity difference) or ionic (very high electronegativity difference) in nature.

A covalent compound is simply one in which all the atoms are linked by covalent bonds. E

Two light bulbs have resistances of 400 Ω and 800 ΩThe two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120- V line. Find the cu

Natasha2012 [34]

1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

$R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega$

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

$I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A$

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

$P=I^2 R$

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

$P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W$

For the second bulb:

$P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W$

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

$P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W$

suppose that 273 g of one of the substances listed above displaces 26 mL of water. What is the substance?

guajiro [1.7K]

The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.

Approximately where is it currently high tide on Earth? Group of answer choices wherever it is currently noon anywhere that ocea

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Option D, only on the portion of the Earth facing directly toward the Moon

Explanation:

Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of moon. The part of earth that faces the moon experiences the highest gravitational force and hence the high tides will occur in this regions only. The regions that do not faces the moon experiences low tides. It is the gravity of moon that attracts the ocean water towards itself.

Hence, Option D is correct

Imagine we have a 2 lb ball of putty moving with a speed of 5 mph striking and sticking to a 18 lb bowling ball at rest; the time it takes to collide is 0.1 s. After the collision, the two move together with a speed of v1. To find v1, use momentum conservation: 2x5=(18+2)v1, v1=0.5 mph. Next, imagine we have a 18 lb bowling ball moving with a speed of 5 mph striking and sticking to a 2 lb ball of putty at rest; the time it takes to collide is 0.1 s. After the collision, the two move together with a speed of v2. To find v2, use momentum conservation: 18x5=(18+2)v2, v2=4.5 mph.
