Conduction
In metals, the electrons of each atom are delocalized, which means they are free to move about in the structure of the metal. When heat is applied at one end of the metal, the electrons there are excited and collide with surrounding particles, transferring their energy to them. This is what makes metals very good conductors of both heat and electricity.
Answer:
I'm taking a guess here. Aluminum.
Explanation:
The best conductor of heat would be the material that melted the ice fast. A.K.A. the one with the least amount of minutes. Since aluminum has the least, it is the best conductor of heat
Hi!
The correct options would be:
1. Cathode - <em>reduction</em>
The cathode is the negatively charged electrode, and so has an excess of electrons. Cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode, and gain electrons to acquire a neutral charge. The process in which a gain of electron occurs is called reduction.
2. Anode - <em>oxidation</em>
The opposite occurs at the anode which is positively charged and attracts negatively charged ions, anions. These anions lose their electrons at the anode to acquire a neutral charge, and the process involving loss of electrons is known as oxidation.
3. Salt Bridge - <em>ion transport </em>
Salt bridge is a physical connection between the the anodic and cathodic half cells in an electrochemical cell and is a pathway that facilitates the flow of ions back and forth these half cells. Salt bridge is involved in maintaining a neutral condition in the electrochemical cells, and its absence would result in the accumulation of positive charge in the anodic cell, and negative charge in the cathodic cell.
4. Wire - <em>electron transport </em>
Wires have a universal role of being a pathway for the transport of electrons in circuit. This role is also the same in the wires involved in an electrochemical cells where they are used to transport electrons from the anodic half cell, and this electron transport results in the generation of electricity in the internal circuit of the electrochemical cell.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together. After the big bang,<em> the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently</em>.
The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.
Answer:
Option C. 1
Explanation:
Step 1:
Determination of the Neutron of both isotopes. This is illustrated below.
For isotope y xA:
Mass number = y
Atomic number = x
Neutron =..?
Atomic number = proton number = x
Mass number = Proton + Neutron
y = x + Neutron
Rearrange
Neutron = y – x
For isotope (y + 1) xA:
Mass number = y + 1
Atomic number = x
Neutron =.?
Atomic number = proton number = x
Mass number = Proton + Neutron
y + 1 = x + Neutron
Rearrange
Neutron = y + 1 – x
Step 2:
Determination of the difference between the neutron number of both isotopes. This is illustrated below:
For isotope y xA:
Neutron number = y – x
For isotope (y + 1) xA:
Neutron number = y + 1 – x
Difference in neutron number
=> (y + 1 – x) – (y – x)
=> y + 1 – x – y + x
Rearrange
=> y – y + 1 – x + x
=> 1
Therefore, the difference in the neutron number of both isotopes is 1
