Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Oxygen has a bond order of two. The bond order of Oxygen molecule is calculated, where the [eight valence electrons in bonding molecular orbitals minus (-) four valence electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals]/2 in the electron configuration.

Atoms/molecules where electrons are paired are diamagnetic (repelled by both poles of a magnetic); while atoms/molecules that have one or more unpaired electrons are paramagnetic (attracted to magnetic field).

The two unpaired electrons of dioxygen molecules has made it paramagnetic. By pouring liquid oxygen between the poles of a strong magnet, the liquid stream will be contained by the filed and fills up the space between the poles.

A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: $x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to $x_m$

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is $\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$U=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

it is given

$k=U$

thus $2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2x^2=x_m^2$

$x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$

Which layer would a person drilling a well most likely reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone?

Flauer [41]

An aquifer is the most expected feature that is likely to be reach after drilling through the unsaturated zone. Aquifer has tendency to transform ground water to the surface through voids. The depth of aquifer varies.
