In physical chemistry, the terms body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) refer to the cubic crystal system of a solid. Each solid is made up simple building blocks called lattice units. There are different layouts of a lattice unit.
It is better understood using 3-D models shown in the picture. A BCC unit cell has one lattice point in the center, together with eight corner atoms which represents 1/8 of an atom. Therefore, there are 1+ 8(1/8) = 2 atoms in a BCC unit cell. On the other hand, a FCC unit cell is composed of half of an atom in each of its faces and 1/8 of an atom in its corners. Therefore, there are (1/2)6 + (1/8)8 = 4 atoms in a FCC unit cell.
Answer-A
The water cycle shows how water moves around earth.
Ex: Runoffs,precipitation, condensation, evaporation.
-Steel jelly
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
The principle of conservation of energy states that; energy can neither be created nor destroyed but is converted from one form to another.
In view of this principle, Ella can not be correct when she says that a lot of energy has disappeared. The use of the term "disappeared" connotes the idea that the energy no longer exists which does not happen.
Hence, energy can not "disappear" from hot water rather the energy in the water may be transferred to the surroundings.
No. A neutron star is the weird remains of a star that blew its outer layers off
in a nova event, and then had enough mass left so that gravity crushed its
electrons into its protons, and then what was left of it shrank down to a sphere
of unimaginably dense neutron soup. But it didn't have enough mass to go
any farther than that.
A black hole is the remains of a star that had enough mass to go even farther
than that. No force in the universe was able to stop it from contracting, so it
kept contracting until its mass occupied no volume ... zero. It became even
more weird, and is composed of a substance that we don't know anything about
and can't describe, and occupies zero volume.
Contrary to popular fairy tales, a black hole doesn't reach out and "suck things in".
It's just so small (zero) that things can get very close to it. You know that gravity
gets stronger as you get closer to an object, so if the object has no size at all, you
can get really really close to it, and THAT's where the gravity gets really strong.
You may weigh, let's say, 100 pounds on the Earth. But you're like 4,000 miles
from the center of the Earth. What if all of the earth's mass was crammed into
the size of a bean. Then you could get 1 inch from it, and at that distance from
the mass of the Earth, you would weigh 25,344,000,000 pounds.
But Earth's mass is not enough to make a black hole. That takes a minimum
of about 3 times the mass of the sun, which is right about 1 million times the
Earth's mass. THEN you can get a lightweight black hole.
Do you see how it works now ?
I know. It all seems too fantastic to be true.
It sure does.
<h3><u>Answer and explanation;</u></h3>
-Rate of reaction is the speed at which the reactants are converted to products.
-Rate of reactions depends on a number of factors which includes<u>;</u>
- <em><u>Concentration of reactants</u></em>;<u><em> increasing the concentration of reactants</em></u> increases the rate of reaction.
- <u><em>Temperature;</em></u><u><em> </em></u>An <u><em>increase in temperature results to an increased rate of reaction.</em></u> Increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of molecules thus the collision per unit time also increases and hence the rate of reaction increases.
- <u><em>Decreasing the size of particles of solid reactants</em></u> also increases the rate of reaction. This is because smaller particles increases the surface area on which more collisions can occur thus a faster rate of reaction.
- <em>Adding a catalyst also increases the rate of reaction.</em> This is because catalysts lower the activation energy of reactants, minimum energy require by reactants for the reaction to take place. This thus increases the rate of reaction.
