KiRa [710]3 years ago
8 0

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which statement describes a difference between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?

A. Mechanical waves cannot be longitudinal, but electromagnetic waves can.

B. Electromagnetic waves cannot move particles, but mechanical waves can.

C. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.

D. Mechanical waves do not transfer energy, but electromagnetic waves do.

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium, but mechanical waves do.

Explanation:

A wave is defined as a disturbance along a medium which transfers energy. Waves may be classified as mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves based on their medium of propagation.

A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. An example of a mechanical wave is sound waves. Sound waves are propagated in air.

Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for propagation. They can travel through space. An example of electromagnetic waves is light waves.

Use the periodic table to select which type of bond is present and which of the listed properties is most likely for each substa
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

A = Metallic Bond

B = Strong bonding, strong conductor, high melting and boiling points

Explanation:

Since the bond is between two metals (located in groups 11 and 12), they would experience metallic bonding. Metallically bonded molecules have high melting and boiling points due to the strength of the metallic bond. They also experience strong electrical current due to the there delocalized electrons.

Why is it possible to collect hydrogen gas over water?
maw [93]
A gas produced in a chemical reaction can be collected by water displacement. Because the gas is collected over water, it is not pure but is mixed with vapor from the evaporation of the water. Dalton's law can be used to calculate the amount of the desired gas by subtracting the contribution of the water vapor.
