Which can make 4 covalent bonds? Carbon, Silicon, or both?

Physics

1 answer:

grin007 [14]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

I would say both

Explanation:

Each silicon atom has four valence electrons which are shared, forming covalent bonds with the four surrounding Si atoms.

Carbon contains four electrons in its outer shell. Therefore, it can form four covalent bonds with other atoms or molecules. The simplest organic carbon molecule is methane (CH4), in which four hydrogen atoms bind to a carbon atom (Figure 1).

A 5.10 kgkg watermelon is dropped from rest from the roof of a 18.5 mm-tall building and feels no appreciable air resistance.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>

Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system

W = $\Delta PE$

W = mg (h₀ - h₁)

W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5

W = 924.63 J

Two pipes of equal length are each open at one end. Each has a fundamental frequency of 470 Hz at 310 K. In one pipe the air tem

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Given:

Fundamental frequency: 470Hz

T1:310k,T2:315k

Calculating velocity

Recall v=(331m/s)✓[T1/273k)

V=331✓(310/273)

V1=331*(1.0656)=352.72m/s

V2=331✓(315/273)=355.5m/s

Fundamental frequency=4L

F2=F1(V2/V1)

F2=470(355.5/352.72)=474.4Hz

Beat=[F2-F1]=474.4-470=4.4Hz

I need help, ASAP, I know what thermal energy is, but how does a skater use it when on the track?

Flauer [41]

Answer: Looked it up but

Explanation:

When the skater lands on the track, the vertical component of his kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy. You can do experiments where there is no loss to thermal energy (only PE and KE conversions) by turning friction off and by making sure the skater doesn't leave the track.

As part of an exercise program, a woman walks south at a speed of 2.00 m/s for 60.0 minutes. She then turns around and walks nor

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Option A

Solution:

As per the question:

The distance covered by the woman in the North direction, d = 3000 m

Time taken to travel in North direction, t = 25.0 min = 1500 s

Velocity of woman in the south direction, v = 2.00 m/s

Time taken in the south direction, t' = 60.0 min = 3600 s

Now,

The distance covered in the south direction, d' = vt' = $2.00\times 3600 = 7200\ m$

Now, the total displacement is given by:

D = d' - d = 7200 - 3000 = 4200 m in South

(a) Average velocity of the woman in the whole journey is given by:

$v_{avg} = \frac{Total\ displacement}{Total\ time} = \frac{4200}{t + t'}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{4200}{1500 + 3600} = 0.8235\ m/s$ ≈ 0.824 m/s South
