Answer:

-The stronger electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes the Sodium chloride to break apart until it completely dissolves in the water.

Explanation:

-Sodium Chloride has positively charged sodium ions, Na^+ and negatively charged chloride ions, Cl^-.

-Water on the other hand has positively charged Hydrogen ions,H^+ and negatively charged Oxygen ions, O^{2-} due to the difference in electroneganivity.

-When dissolved in water, the positively charged sodium ions will attract the partially negatively charged oxygen ions. The negatively charged chloride ions will be attracted to the positively charged hydrogen ions in the reaction as below:

NaCl+H_2O->NaOH+HCL\\\\Na^++Cl^-+H_2O->Na^++(OH)^-+H^++Cl^-

The Doppler. Effect indicates that the universe is expanding because
GalinKa [24]

Answer : The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Astronomers have observed that light from the distant object in the universe is shifted towards the frequency of red color which indicates that those object are receding or moving away from the planet earth.This phenomena was termed as Red shift .Same thing goes for galaxies which are very far away from the planet earth.

Where as if galaxies were moving towards the the planet earth their light would have shifted toward the frequency of blue color termed as blue shift.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Arrange the three common unit cells in order from least dense to most dense packing. a. face-centered cubic < body-centered c
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

b. primitive cubic < body-centered cubic < face-centered cubic  

Explanation:

The coordination number is defined as <em>the number of atoms (or ions) surrounding an atom (or ion) in a crystal lattice</em>. Its value gives us a measure of how tightly the spheres are packed together. The larger the coordination number, the closer the spheres are to each other.

  • In the <u>primitive cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 6 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 6</u>.
  • In the <u>body-centered cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 8 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 12</u>.
  • In the <u>face-centered cubic</u>, each sphere is in contact with 12 spheres, so its <u>coordination number is 12</u>.

Therefore, the increasing order in density is the primitive cubic first, then the body-centered cubic, and finally the face-centered cubic.

The end of one bar magnet is placed near the end of another bar magnet. The two ends seem to push each other apart. Which of the
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A.The two ends are like poles

Explanation:

Magnets are composed of a north pole and a south pole. If two like poles of a magnetic are placed near each other, the two ends seem to push apart.

The reason for this is that, when like poles of two magnets are made to face each other, the lines of forces are in opposite directions, hence the magnets repel.

If unlike poles of two bar magnets are made to face each other, the magnetic lines of force are now in the same direction therefore the unlike poles attract each other.
