This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic
Answer:
q=3.5*10^-4
Explanation:
<u>concept:</u>
The force acting on both charges is given by the coulomb law:
F=kq1q2/r^2
the centripetal force is given by:
Fc=mv^2/r
The kinetic energy is given by:
KE=1/2mv^2
<u>The tension force:</u>
<u><em>when the plane is uncharged </em></u>
T=mv^2/r
T=2(K.E)/r
T=2(50 J)/r
T=100/r
<u><em>when the plane is charged </em></u>
T+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(K.E)charged/r
100/r+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(53.5 J)/r
q=√(2r[53.5 J-50 J]/k) √= square root on whole
q=√2(2)(53.5 J-50 J)/8.99*10^9
q=3.5*10^-4
Answer:
Weight
Explanation:
Weight is the downward pull on an object due to gravity.
For example, the moon has less gravity than Earth so we would weigh less on the moon. Our Mass and volume always stay the same but our weight could change.
The smallest unit that makes up matter is an atom!
Pure substances can be elements made up exclusively of one kind of atom, or they can be compounds made up of molecules that include two or more elements. Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous depending on how finely mixed the components are.
