Substances that can carry electric current under some conditions but not under others are called semiconductors.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitry [639]2 years ago
8 0
A semiconductor is a substance, usually a solid chemical element or compound, that can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others, making it a good medium for the control of electrical current. Silicon is a very common element -- for example, it is the main element in sand and quartz.

What is the ground state electron configuration for B3+ ?
Arisa [49]

The ground state electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom with lower energy levels. The electrons occupying the orbitals of varying energy levels naturally falls towards the lowest energy state or ground state.

PH3, explain why there is a partial positive on hydrogen and partial negative on phosphorus.
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Phosphorus is more electronegative than hydrogen

Explanation:

Electronegativity is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons towards itself thereby making a molecule to be polar. The Pauling scale is the most commonly used to measure electronegativity. Fluorine (the most electronegative element) is assigned a value of 4.0 on the Pauling's scale, and values range down to caesium and francium which are the least electronegative elements.

Electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table (across the period) hence, phosphorus is far more electronegative than hydrogen. Being more electronegative than hydrogen, phosphorus attracts the bonding electron pair of the P-H bond closer to itself than hydrogen. Since the electrons of the bond are closer to phosphorus than hydrogen, the phosphorus atom acquires a partial negative charge while the hydrogen atom acquires a partial positive charge.

What is the relationship between reaction rate and reaction time
Natali [406]

Answer:

The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the reaction time.

Explanation:

  • The reaction rate is the change of the concentration of reactants and products with the time.

<em>∵ Reaction rate = - Δ[reactants]/Δt = Δ[products]/Δt.</em>

<em>∴ The reaction rate is inversely proportional to the time, as the reaction rate increases it will take a lower time.</em>
