Can someone put in your own words what sensory adaptation is?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Crank4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Sensory adaptation refers to a reduction in sensitivity to a stimulus after constant exposure to it. While sensory adaptation reduces our awareness of a constant stimulus, it helps free up our attention and resources to attend to other stimuli in the environment around us.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

sensory adaptation: People do not experience perceptions of external stimuli such as noise, touch, smell and other senses. They become used to the sensory stimulus because of continuous exposure

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
Scrat [10]
It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).

The “fatal flaw” in Rutherford’s model of the atom was the idea that if the electrons were ________.
Wittaler [7]
The correct option is A. Rutherford model of the atom consider an atom to be made up of a central nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. The nucleus is considered to be tiny, heavy and its positively charged while the electrons are negatively charged. The shortcoming of this model is that it was not able to explain how the positive nucleus was not able to attract the negative electrons and pull them inside the nucleus.

what is the order of decreasing bond length for a C-C bond composed of the following molecular orbitals?I. sp^3 - sp^3II. sp^2 -
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C

Explanation:

Bond length is defined as average distance between two nuclei of  bonded atoms in a molecule.Bond length is inversely  proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Number of bonds}}...[1]

Bond energy is defied as amount of energy required to break apart the bond of 1 mole of molecule into their individual atom. Bond energy is directly proportional to the number of bonds present between two atoms.

\text{Bond Energy} \propto \text{Number of bonds}..[2]

From [1] and [2]:

\text{Bond length} \propto \frac{1}{\text{Bond energy}}

C-C: sp_3 hybridized

C=C: sp_2 hybridized

C\equiv C: sp hybridized

Extent of overlapping of orbitals in these hybridization;

C\equiv C> C=C > C-C

Higher the overlapping of orbital more closer will be both atoms to each other and shorter will be the bond lenght.

So, the decreasing order of bond length in the carbon - carbon bonds will be:

C-C>C=C>C\equiv C
