When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?

Physics

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS.  That is, it becomes MORE dense.  I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase.  That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean.  And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible !  Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

producing a path for current to flow

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • An AC generator is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy using the principle of electromagnetic induction.
  • <em><u>Slip rings are two hollow rings to which two ends of the armature coil are connected. These rings rotate with the rotation of the coil. They function to  to allow for electrical contact with the brushes.</u></em>
  • Slip rings therefore, provide a means for connecting the rotating armature to an external circuit.

The element Ne, neon, has ____ (number) complete shells having its ____ electrons in second _____.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

2, 8 and shell

Explanation:

Neon as atomic number 10. Since for each shell, electrons equal 2n².

When n = 1, 2n² = 2(1)² = 2

When n = 2, 2n² = 2(2)² = 8

So it fills both the first and second shell with 2 and 8 electrons respectively to achieve its stable atomic state. The rest of the 8 electrons go into the second shell because the first shell has achieved its stable dual configuration of two electrons. The next shell requires a maximum of 8 electrons to achieve stability so, the remaining electrons fill it up to achieve the stable octet configuration.
