Band theory
The atomic orbitals of metals combine to form <em>molecular orbitals</em>. The molecular orbitals are so close in energy that they form a <em>band</em> of energies.
<em>Ionic bond theory</em> is incorrect because there are no ions in metals.
<em>Covalent bond theory</em> is incorrect because there are no covalent bonds in metals.
<em>Electron bond theory</em> is incorrect because there is no theory with that name (but there is a <em>valence bond theory</em>).
Yes it will react with acid.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C) "Handle your thermometer with care. When you remove it from your drawer be sure to hold both ends of the thermometer so that it does not slip out".
Explanation:
Handling a thermometer with care is part of the laboratory safety precautions that should be considered regarding to the reactivity of metals. Old thermometers are based on the element mercury, a shining metal that is the only element that is in liquid state on room temperature conditions. Mercury is very toxic, and is particularly dangerous because it vaporizes at room temperature and it could be inhaled.
Answer: The volume of the balloon at the center of the typhoon is 41.7L.
Note: The complete question is given below;
If a small weather balloon with a volume of 40.0 L at a pressure of 1.00 atmosphere was deployed at the edge of Typhoon Odessa, what was the volume of the balloon when it reached the center?
The severity of a tropical storm is related to the depressed atmospheric pressure at its center. In August 1985, Typhoon Odessa in the Pacific Ocean featured maximum winds of about 90 mi/hr and pressure that was 40.0 mbar lower at the center than normal atmospheric pressure. In contrast, the central pressure of Hurricane Andrew (pictured) was 90.0 mbar lower than its surroundings when it hit south Florida with winds as high as 165 mi/hr.
Explanation:
Since no temperature changes were given, it is assumed to be constant. Therefore, Boyle's law which describes the relationship between pressure and volume is used to determine the new volume at the center of Typhoon Odessa. Mathematically, Boyle's law states that; P1V1 = P2V2
Assuming 1atm = 1 bar, 1mbar = 0.001atm, 40mbar = 0.040atm
P1 = 1.0atm, V1 = 40.0L, P2 = 1atm - 0.040atm = 0.960atm, V2 = ?
Using P1V1 = P2V2
V2 = P1V1/P2
V2 = 1.0 * 40.0 / 0.96
V2 = 41.67L
Therefore, the volume of the balloon at the center of the typhoon is 41.7L.
