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.

How many times more massive is an oxygen atom than a hydrogen atom?
Gala2k [10]
An oxygen atom is 16x more massive than a hydrogen atom.

You can figure this out by comparing the atomic masses of the two elements: oxygen has an atomic mass number of 16, and hydrogen has an atomic mass number of 1. Thus, an oxygen atom is 16 times more massive than a hydrogen atom.

Why might one type of cell have more mitochondria than another type of cell?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Some cells have more mitochondria than others. Your fat cells have many mitochondria because they store a lot of energy. Muscle cells have many mitochondria, which allows them to respond quickly to the need for doing work.
