What is generally true about the compressibility of solids?

Chemistry

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compressibility means the ability to reduce or compress in size.

In solids, molecules are held together by strong force of attraction. Therefore, it requires very high force or energy to break the bond between the molecules of a solid.

As a result, compressibility of solids is low.

Whereas a hot ionized gas which contains same number of both positive or negatively charged electrons is known as plasma. Being a gas, molecules of plasma are not held by strong force of attractions.

Hence, plasma is compressible as compared to solids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, the statement compressibility of solids is lower than the compressibility of plasmas and gases is true.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, it is lower than the compressibility of gases and liquids.  

Explanation:

Compressibility is considered as the tendency to compress or reduce in size. In solids, the molecules are closely held together and exhibit greater intermolecular attraction, thus, there is minor space in between the two molecules and molecules vibrate at their mean positions.  

In the case of liquids, the intermolecular attraction is less and the molecules are free to move, however, still they are closer to each other. In the case of gases, the intermolecular attraction is insignificant and they are present far from each other. Thus, it can be concluded that gases are the most compressible succeeded by liquids, and then by solids.

Answer:

Explanation:

innermost part of the atom is: orange dots

outermost part of atom is:black dots

name of atom is  atomos, Figure 4.The symbol for an atom indicates the element via its usual two-letter symbol, the mass number as a left superscript, the atomic number as a left subscript (sometimes omitted), and the charge as a right superscript.

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

The number fifteen in Angel numerology marks the manifestation of a harmonious life, a synthesis of matter and spirit. Angel number 15 refers to the material and spiritual, steady flow of energy, the source of power and cooperation.

In statistical testing, the p-value is the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the results actually observed, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is correct. A very small p-value means that such an extreme observed outcome would be very unlikely under the null hypothesis.

Phosphorus is a chemical element with the symbol P and atomic number 15. Elemental phosphorus exists in two major forms, white phosphorus and red phosphorus, but because it is highly reactive, phosphorus is never found as a free element on Earth.

High MCH scores are commonly a sign of macrocytic anemia. This condition occurs when the blood cells are too big, which can be a result of not having enough vitamin B12 or folic acid in the body

The mass number tells us the number (the sum of nucleons) of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. ... The atomic number uniquely identifies a chemical element. In an atom of neutral charge, atomic number is equal to the number of electrons.

number of protons = atomic number.

number of electrons = atomic number.

number of neutrons = mass number - atomic number.

The ionic radius for Na+ is 0.097 ηm and for Cl- is 0.181 ηm, the absolute value of the charge for each ion is 1.6x10-19 C, ε_o=
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

B = (2.953 × 10⁻⁹⁵) N.m⁹

Explanation:

At equilibrium, where the distance between the two ions (ro) is the sum of their ionic radii, the force between the two ions is zero.

That is,

Fa + Fr = 0

Fa = - Fr

Fa = (|q₁q₂|)/(4πε₀r²)

Fr = -B/(r^n) but n = 9

Fr = -B/r⁹

(|q₁q₂|)/(4πε₀r²) = (B/r⁹)

|q₁| = |q₂| = (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

(1/4πε₀) = k = (8.99 × 10⁹) Nm²/C²

r = 0.097 + 0.181 = 0.278 nm = (2.78 × 10⁻¹⁰) m

(k|q₁q₂|)/(r²) = (B/r⁹)

(k × |q₁q₂|) = (B/r⁷)

B = (k × |q₁q₂| × r⁷)

B = [8.99 × 10⁹ × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ × (2.78 × 10⁻¹⁰)⁷]

B = (2.953 × 10⁻⁹⁵) N.m⁹
