Atoms of arsenic (As) are often added to silicon (Si) in a process called doping to change the conductivity of the silicon. How

does the addition of arsenic change the conductivity of silicon?
a) An atom of arsenic has one fewer valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom gains an electron.

b) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity decreases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

c) An atom of arsenic has one fewer valence electron and fewer electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom gains an electron.

d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Answer:

d) An atom of arsenic has one more valence electron and more electron shells than an atom of silicon, so the conductivity increases because the arsenic atom loses the electron.

Explanation:

This is an example of a n-type semiconductor. The additional electron introduced to the 'grid' of silicon atoms causes an increase in the conductivity of the silicon. This additional electron is introduced as arsenic loses its extra electron.

Water's ability to dissolve a wide variety of molecules is important, but more important is the hydrophobic effect, which drives
Sliva [168]

Answer:

d. Hydrophobic molecules are attracted to each other.

Explanation:

The term “hydrophobic effect” is associated with the spontaneous tendency of macromolecules, such as proteins, to prefer a conformation in an aqueous medium, with hydrophobic groups facing the interior of the mac romolecule, favoring attractive intramolecular interactions, and hydrophilic groups exposed on the surface, for maximize interactions with water molecules in the medium. This is because the hydrophobic molecules are attracted to each other, allowing them to turn inward.

Why did Rutherford choose alpha particles in his experiment?
Georgia [21]
Rutherford used gold for his scattering experiment because gold is the most malleable metal and he wanted the thinnest layer as possible. The goldsheet used was around 1000 atoms thick. Therefore, Rutherford selected a Gold foil in his alpha scatttering experiment.

Given the reaction that occurs in an electrochemical cell:
KatRina [158]

Answer:

c) +2 to 0

Explanation:

SO4 has a charge of -2, so the Cu attached to that has to be a +2 since the polyatomic molecule has no overall charge

Cu(s) is a solid metal and they have no charge, therefore it is zero

Copper undergoes Oxidation (gain of electrons)
