How is technology useful and how is it harmful

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lelu [443]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The aggregation of methods used in order to accomplish a goal is called technology.

Whether technology is used to accomplish a goal which society does not deem acceptable then the goal is bad. The same technology can be used to do good. So, the question whether technology is harmful or useful depends on the goal a person wasts to acheive.

Let us take an example

The internet is one of the greatest discoveries of mankind which allows people access to unlimited information. It can be used for a variety of different services such buying goods and services. However, the internet is also a technology that facilitates illegal activities that circumvents government intervention. This way of technology being used is harmful.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.

If the two atoms participating in a bond have an electron negativity difference of 1.9 , what type of of bond would they be part
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

When the bond is formed between the atoms by sharing the electrons the bond thus have covalent character.   The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  When the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

When bonded atoms have greater electronegativity difference i.e 2 or greater than two the bond is ionic because electron is transfer from low electronegative atom to highest electronegative atom.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

In case of H₂, Cl₂, Br₂ the bond has very high covalent character because of zero electronegativity difference.

Explain the different melting points between ionic and covalent bonding
yarga [219]

Ionic bonding is formed in Ionic compounds due to electrostatic force between the oppositely charged ions.


In covalent bonds electrons are shared between the atoms. In case of ionic bond the bond is stronger as there is complete transfer of electrons from one ion to the other.


Since the ionic bonds are more difficult to break than the covalent bonds, ionic compounds have a higher melting point than covalent compounds.
