Explanation:

Whether you know it or not, compressed air is involved in every aspect of our lives, from the balloons at your birthday party to the air in the tires of our cars and bicycles. It was probably even used when making the phone, tablet or computer you’re viewing this on.

The main ingredient of compressed air is - you guessed it! - air. Air is a gas mixture, which means it consists of many different gases. Primarily these are nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%).

The temperature of the air is directly proportional to the mean kinetic energy of these molecules. This means that the air temperature will be high if the mean kinetic energy is large (and the air molecules move faster). The temperature will be low when the kinetic energy is small.

Compressing the air makes the molecules move more rapidly, which increases the temperature. This phenomenon is called “heat of compression”. Compressing air is literally to force it into a smaller space and as a result bringing the molecules closer to each other. The energy that gets released when doing this is equal to the energy required to force the air into the smaller space. In other words, it stores the energy for future use.

What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.  

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.    

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

Name the cycloalkanes with molecular formula c6h12 that have a 3-membered ring and two substituents.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.

Explanation:

  • The structure of the molecule will be as shown in the attached image.
  • The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₂.
  • It has 3 membered ring with 3 C atoms and two substituents one of them with one C atom (methyl) and the other with 2 C atoms (ethyl).
  • The ring consist of 3 C atoms, so its name is cyclo propane.
  • We numbering the atoms of the ring that give the ethyl substituent the low no. (1) and then methyl group take no. (2).
  • <em>Thus, the name of the compound is 1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.</em>

When an electron in a quantum system drops from a higher energy level to a lower one, the system __
icang [17]

When an electron in a quantum system drops from a higher energy level to a lower one, the system<u> emit a photon.</u>

<u />

The energy of the electron drops when it transitions levels, as well as the atom releases photons. The emission of the photon occurs as the electron transitions from an energy state to a lower state. The photon energy represents precisely the energy that would be lost when an electron moves to a level with less energy.

When such an excited electron transitions from one energy level to another, this could emit a photon. The energy drop would be equivalent to the power of the photon that is released. In electron volts, the energy of an electron, as well as its associated photon (emitted or absorbed) has been stated.

Therefore, when an electron in a quantum system drops from a higher energy level to a lower one, the system<u> emit a photon.</u>
