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 proton is going 2,000 m/s into a magnetic field of 300 T. How much force does it feel. The charge of a proton = 1.602 x 10^-19

NemiM [27]

This depends on the direction of the velocity vector to the magnetic field vector. The force is F=q(VxB) ("x" is the cross product.) The max force is when V and B are perpendicular. Then F=qVB = (1.602e-19)(2000)(300) = 9.612e-14 N

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

$q_1=q_2=+1C$ are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

$F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N$

A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly into the air at a rate of 25 ft/s. You are running on the ground starting

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The rate of change of the distance between the helicopter and yourself (in ft/s) after 5 s is $\sqrt{725}$ ft/ sec

Explanation:

Given:

h(t) = 25 ft/sec

x(t) = 10 ft/ sec

h(5) = 25 ft/sec . 5 = 125 ft

x(5) = 10 ft/sec . 5 = 50 ft

Now we can calculate the distance between the person and the helicopter by using the Pythagorean theorem

$D(t) = \sqrt{h^2 + x^2}$

Lets find the derivative of distance with respect to time

$\frac{dD}{dt} (t) = \frac{2h \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} +2x \cdot\frac{dx}{dt}} {2\sqrt{h^2 + x^2}}$

Substituting the values of h(t) and x(t) and simplifying we get,

$\frac{dD}{dt}(t) = \frac{50t \cdot \frac{dh}{dt} + 20 \cdot \frac{dx}dt}{2\sqrt{625\cdot t^2 + 100 \cdot t^2}}$

$\frac{dh}{dt} = 25ft/sec$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 10 ft/sec$

$\frac{Dd}{dt} (t) = \frac{1250t +200t}{2\sqrt{725}t}$ = $\frac{725}{\sqrt{725}}$ = $\sqrt{725}$ ft / sec

Calculate the gravitational attraction between two objects which masses are: mass A: 2.5kg, mass B: 5kg. The distance between th

jonny [76]

From the calculation, the gravitational force of attraction is 1.33 * 10^-14 N.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is an attractive force that acts between any two masses.

It is given by;

F = Gm1m2/r^2

F = 6.67 * × 10−11 * 2.5 * 5/(250)^2

F = 83.4 × 10−11 /62500

F= 1.33 * 10^-14 N

A long wire carrying a 5.0 A current perpendicular to the xy-plane intersects the x-axis at x= - 2.0 cm . A second, parallel wir

mario62 [17]

Answer:

a . 0.35cm

b. 11.33cm

Explanation:

a. Given both currents are in the same direction, the null point lies in between them. Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4-x

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in between the wires:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi(4-x)}\\\\5/x=\frac{3.5}{4-x}\\\\x=2.35cm\\\\N=2.35-2=0.35cm$

Hence, for currents in same direction, the point is 0.35cm

b. Given both currents flow in opposite directions, the null point lies on the other side.

#For the magnetic fields to be zero,the fields of both wires should be equal and opposite.They are only opposite in outside the wires:

Let x be distance of N from first wire, then distance from 2nd wire is 4+x:

$\frac{\mu_oi_1}{2\pi(4+ x)}=\frac{\mu_oi_2}{2\pi x}\\\\5/(4+x)=\frac{3.5}{x}\\\\x=9.33cm\\\\N=9.33+2=11.33cm$

Hence, if currents are in opposite directions the point on x-axis is 11.33cm
