Hello!

Based on these facts, we should classify Germanium as a Metalloid.

Metalloids are chemical elements with a mixture of properties from metals and non-metals. Although Germanium has a metallic appearance (typical of metals), it doesn't have the conductive properties of metals, but is a semiconductor. The semiconductive properties of Germanium are used in applications like transistors and chips.

Have a nice day!

What is the momentum of a photon that has a wavelength of 3.00 102 nm? remember the wavelength of a photon is equal to planck's
marta [7]
De Broglie's equation is used to show that photons have both particle and wave nature. photons are quantized packets of energy. the wave nature of photons can be proven as they have a wavelength. the particle nature is given by them having both velocity and mass. 
de Broglies equation is;
λ = h / p 
where λ - wavelength 
h - Planck's constant 
p - momentum 
substituting the values in the equation 
p = h/λ
p = \frac{6.626 * 10^{-34}m^{2} kg/s }{3.00 *  10^{-7}  m}
p  = 2.20 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s
momentum of photon is 2.20 x 10⁻²⁷ kgm/s

Why do we observe national day​
WITCHER [35]

A national day is a day on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation or state. It may be the date of independence, of becoming a republic, or a significant date for a patron saint or a ruler (such as a birthday, accession, or removal). The national day is often a public holiday.

Manuel observes a chemical reaction between one atom of silicone and two atoms of oxygen which answer choice correctly list the
lawyer [7]
The answer is SiO2
Since silicon has four valence electrons and each oxygen has 2, for every 1 silicon there must be 2 oxygen to fill in both element's outer shells satisfactorily. An alternative way to figure out the chemical formula is to simply swap the charges.
Silicon is a -4 and oxygen is a -2.
Oxygen's charge is brought down into subscript and set as the number of silicons in the chemical formula, making silicon Si2. Silicon's charge is brought down to make the number of oxygens in the chemical formula O4. The formula we have currently is Si2O4. Simplify it to get the empirical formula (divide by 2) and you get SiO2.

A photon has 8.0 × 10–15 J of energy. Planck’s constant is 6.63 × 10–34 J•s. What is the frequency of the photon
german
The formula is:
frequency * h (Planck's constant) = Energy
So, to find frequency you need just divide energy by the constant:
frequency = (8 * 10^-15 J) / (6.63 * 10^-34 J*s) = 1.2 * 10^19 1/s or 1.2 * 10^19 Hz
