Answer: The concept behind hydroelectric power is simple: Rather than combusting fossil fuels, like coal, oil, or natural gas, which put over 52 million kilotons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere each year, dams block the water flowing in rivers or lakes and use the force of the would-be flow to turn turbines,
Explanation:
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is added to the gaseous atom or ion.
Electron affinity increases by moving from left to right in periodic table and decreases by moving from up to down.
So the correct answer is Te
Xe: being as noble gas it is unacceptable to gain an electron
The values of electron affinity for these elements:
Ba (13.9 kJ/mol) - Te (190.1 kJ/mol) - Xe (-80 kJ/mol) - Cs (45.5 kJ/mol)
Answer:
For much of the past century, scientists studying drugs and drug use labored in the shadows of powerful myths and misconceptions about the nature of addiction. When scientists began to study addictive behavior in the 1930s, people with an addiction were thought to be morally flawed and lacking in willpower. Those views shaped society’s responses to drug use, treating it as a moral failing rather than a health problem, which led to an emphasis on punishment rather than prevention and treatment.
Today, thanks to science, our views and our responses to addiction and the broader spectrum of substance use disorders have changed dramatically. Groundbreaking discoveries about the brain have revolutionized our understanding of compulsive drug use, enabling us to respond effectively to the problem.
As a result of scientific research, we know that addiction is a medical disorder that affects the brain and changes behavior. We have identified many of the biological and environmental risk factors and are beginning to search for the genetic variations that contribute to the development and progression of the disorder. Scientists use this knowledge to develop effective prevention and treatment approaches that reduce the toll drug use takes on individuals, families, and communities.
Despite these advances, we still do not fully understand why some people develop an addiction to drugs or how drugs change the brain to foster compulsive drug use. This booklet aims to fill that knowledge gap by providing scientific information about the disorder of drug addiction, including the many harmful consequences of drug use and the basic approaches that have been developed to prevent and treat substance use disorders.
At the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), we believe that increased understanding of the basics of addiction will empower people to make informed choices in their own lives, adopt science-based policies and programs that reduce drug use and addiction in their communities, and support scientific research that improves the Nation’s well-being.
Answer:
I think the answer is X if wrong i´m sorry
Explanation:
Maglev trains were created to connect Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Central Pudong. Transrapid, another name for the Maglev train is said to be the fastest train. It can run up to 270/mph in just eight minutes.
Compared to other transportation systems, Transrapid is faster and more cost effective. It has less maintaining coverage and zero sounds compared to the ordinary ones.
This kind of train is one of the most effective means of transportation. It lessens traffic and pollution caused by car emission. It also saves more time for people who are always on the go.
