Answer: The complete nuclear symbol will be $_8^{18}\textrm {O}$

Explanation:

The nuclear symbol is written as: $_Z^A\textrm {X}$ where Z= atomic number , A = mass number X = symbol of element

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

For an electrically neutral atom,

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 8

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number = 8 + 10 = 18

Thus complete symbol will be $_8^{18}\textrm {O}$

The second-order diffraction for a gold crystal is at an angle of 22.20o for X-rays of 154 pm. What is the spacing between the c

Alenkinab [10]

Answer: The spacing between the crystal planes is $4.07\times 10^{-10}m$

Explanation:

To calculate the spacing between the crystal planes, we use the equation given by Bragg, which is:

$n\lambda =2d\sin \theta$

where,

n = order of diffraction = 2

$\lambda$ = wavelength of the light = $154pm=1.54\times 10^{-10}m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^{12}pm$ )

d = spacing between the crystal planes = ?

$\theta$ = angle of diffraction = 22.20°

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2\times 1.54\times 10^{-10}=2d\sin (22.20)\\\\d=\frac{2\times 1.54\times 10^{-10}}{2\times \sin (22.20)}\\\\d=4.07\times 10^{-10}m$

Hence, the spacing between the crystal planes is $4.07\times 10^{-10}m$

A) Compute the repeat unit molecular weight of polystyrene. B) Compute the number-average molecular weight for a polystyrene for

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = $C_8H_8$ ;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

$DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}$

$\overline M_n= DP \times m$

$\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol$

$\overline M_n= 2604000 \ g/mol$

The half of the moon facing the sun is always lit, but the different phases happen because:

zvonat [6]

Answer:

we only see parts of the lit side as the moon goes around the earth

Explanation:

Unlike the sun, the moon orbits the Earth. This is the reason why we see the different phases of the moon. The reflection of the moon is being illuminated back to us with the help of the sun. So, as the moon circles the Earth, we only see parts of the lit side. Such changes helps us see the moon in different phases such as the Third Quarter, Crescent, New Moon, Full Moon, etc.

For example, during "Full Moon," the moon's entire face is lit up by the sun. Thus, we see the entire moon's lit portion.

Thus, this explains the answer.

What is one benefit and one limitation of comparative investigations

Ivan

1. Seeing broader picture: determining gray areas, overlaps, and exclusions, biases, the primary focus.

2. Bias. Sources may have hidden agenda, personal discrimination conscience or unconscious and a limited view of the short term, long term effects.
