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).

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

distance, r = 911 nm = 911 x 10^-9 m

The Coulomb's force is given by

$F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{\left (911\times 10^{-9} \right )^2}$

F = 2.78 x 10^-16 N

The force between the electron and the proton is 2.78 x 10^-16 N.

an object is placed at 19.3 cm in front of a diverging lens with a focal length of -18.7 cm. what is the magnification? enter a

The magnification <u>is 31.16.</u>

Magnification is the process of increasing the apparent size of something rather than its physical size. This increase is quantified by a calculated number, also called the "factor". If this number is less than 1, it means size reduction, sometimes called size reduction or reduction.

u = -19.3

f = -18.7 cm.

m = f/f-u

= -18.7/-18.7 +19.3

The term magnification refers to the size of the image produced by the lens compared to the size of the object. For lenses: Magnification "m" is the ratio of image height to object height. The magnification of a lens is defined as the ratio of image height to object height. It is also given by image distance and object distance. equal to the ratio of image distance to object distance.
