Not sure how in depth or what level of particles but I will go as deep as I know. The matter that makes up the world is comprised of 12 particles which are known as fermions. There are 12 fermions which are made up of 6 quarks (up, charm, top, Down, Strange, Bottom) 3 electrons (electron, muon, tau) and three neutrinos (e, muon, tau). Technically, only the up quark, down quark, electron, and electron neutrino are necessary to create all known matter since others would simply be very unstable and decay into those particles. The other type of particles are known as Bosons. These particles transmit forces and all sorts of different interactions. I have included a photo from online which describes the main characteristics of each elementary particle.

If the elastic modulus of cobalt (co) is 200 gpa, and the elastic modulus of tungsten carbide (wc) is 700 gpa, calculate the upp

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

To determine the upper bond
Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp
Em is the elastic modulus of cobalt.
E₁ is the elastic modulus of the particulate
Vm is the volume fraction of cobalt
Vp is the volume fraction of particulate
substitute
Ec(u) = 200 (Vm) + 700 (Vp)
To determine the lower bound
Ec (l) = EmEp/VmEp+ VpEm
Substitute
Ec (l) = 200(700)/Vm(700) + Vp (200)
Ec (l) = 1400/7Vm+2Vp

Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with two sodium ions? CO32− HCO31− NO21− NO31−

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

CO32−

Explanation:

We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.

When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)

Is MgS ionic or covalent

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Mg has 2 electron in it's outermost orbit, by donating this two electron to Sulfur it get stable mg 2+ electronic configuration while sulfur has 6 electron in it's outermost shell ,so sulfur accept this 2 electron and complete it's octet and become s2–.

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.
