Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light. This energy has an electric field and a magnetic field associated with it, and has wave-like properties. You could also call radiation “electromagnetic waves”.

The density of water is 1 gm/ml. An object has a mass of 58 grams. What volume must it have in order to float in water?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

58mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of water  = 1g/mL

Mass of object  = 58g

Unknown:

The volume the object must have to be able to float in water = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we know that the object must have density value equal to that of water or less than that of water to be able to float.

We then set its density to that of water;  

   Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

      Volume  = \frac{mass}{density}  

So;

      Volume  = \frac{58}{1}   = 58mL

Proteins have a variety of functions within a living cell. Describe at least three of the possible functions of proteins, and ex
prisoha [69]
Three of the functions of proteins are as antibodies, as enzymes and as messengers. As antibodies, they protect the cells from diseases ie they fight diseases. As enzymes, they regulate the chemical reactions within cells, and thirdly they transmit signals as messengers such as hormones do in co-ordinating biological processes. Proteins are so diverse because of their unique 3-D structures which their polymers form from the 20 amino acids available as their building blocks.

Metals have low ionization energies and readily share their ________ or outer electrons with each other to form an electron ____
Dmitry [639]

Explanation:

Metals are the species which readily lose electrons in order to attain stability. This electron lost by the atom is actually present in its outermost shell which is also known as valence shell.

Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.

When we move across a period from left to right then there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atoms. Therefore, ionization energy increases along a period.  

But when we move down a group then there occurs an increase in atomic size of the atoms due to addition of number of electrons in the atoms. Hence, ionization energy decreases along a group.

Thus, we can conclude that metals have low ionization energies and readily share their valence or outer electrons with each other to form an electron sea. These electrons are delocalized or shared among all the atoms that are bonded together and can therefore move freely throughout the metal structure.

Which of the following elements is the smallest?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;

          Si          111 pm

           P          98 pm

          Cl          79 pm

            S           87pm

pm = picometer

We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius
