Answer:
A particle
Explanation:
Modern quantum theory holds that light has both wave-like and particle-like properties. When the length scales involved are large compared to the wavelengths of light (ex., forming images with thin lenses), the
particle nature of light dominates.
I think the answer is systems tend to undergo changes towards lower energy and higher entropy.
Usually the point of chemical reactions is to go from a state of higher energy to lower energy (it is possible for reactions to go from lower to higher energy though as in the case of endothermic reactions).
As for entropy, usually it requires energy to lower the entropy of a system since entropy can be thought of as the relative disorder of the system. If you go from a state of higher disorder to lower disorder work usually needs to be done.
This trend can be shown in the equation ΔG=ΔH-TΔs:
ΔG stands for Gibbs free energy
ΔH stands for change in enthalpy
ΔS stands for change in entropy
T stands for temperature
when ever ΔG is negative the reaction is spontaneous which means that it is favored. As you can see ΔG is negative at any temperature when ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive showing that going to a lower energy state and raising the entropy is usually favored in nature.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear or if you need further explanation.
This site is used for learning, so to give a better understanding, here is a walkthrough.
So let's create a question:
Can a molecule have a dipole moment if it has no polar covalent bonds?
Here's the answer to that question:
Even though a molecule contains only one element, it can have a persistent dipole moment. The most common example is ozone (trioxygen). It is curved and has a partial positive charge on the center oxygen atom (similar to sulfur dichloride).
Permanent dipole moments are caused by an unequal, directed charge distribution within a molecule, not by changes in electronegativity. Such charge distributions are frequently caused by so-called "polar covalent bonds," which occur between atoms with markedly varying electronegativity. However, they are not the sole explanation.
So using this information, try to answer this question on your own.
