Answer:
d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.
Explanation:
This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.
Answer:
Many emerging diseases arise when infectious agents in animals are passed to humans (referred to as zoonoses). As the human population expands in number and into new geographical regions, the possibility that humans will come into close contact with animal species that are potential hosts of an infectious agent increases.
Explanation:
Answer:
6
Explanation:
The coordination number of a particular crystal structure arrangement is defined as the number of nearest neighbor atoms or ions surrounding an atom or ion.
We must note that in salts of the type MX, the coordination number of each ion must be equal. The structure of LiCl is built by placing each unit cell next to another such that ions residing in the corner, edge or face sites are shared between adjacent unit cells. The LiCl is in FCC arrangement.
Hence in LiCl, each Li+ ion is surrounded by 6 chloride ions.
Answer:
C. 70%
Explanation:
Atomic Mass of the silicon = 28 g.
Atomic mass of the Carbon = 12 g.
Total mass of the Silicon Carbide = 28 + 12
= 40 g.
Now, Using the formula.
% Composition = Mass of the silicon/Total mass of the compound × 100 %
= 28/40 × 100 %
= 70 %
Hence, % composition of the silicon in SiC is 70%
