Answer:
Each nitrogen molecule consists of two atoms of nitrogen that are bonded by a triple covalent bond. This is because each nitrogen atom has 5 valence electrons. Each atom can complete its octet by sharing three electrons.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:
x = γ(x' + ut')
x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.
x' = 0
t' = 5.00 s
u =0.800 c,
c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s
Then,
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)
γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)
γ = 1 / √0.36
γ = 1 / 0.6
γ = 1.67
Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')
x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)
x = 1.67 × (0+4c)
x = 1.67 × 4c
x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸
x = 2.004 × 10^9 m
x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m
Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:
but as x'=0 we just have:
t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)
t = γ•t'
t = 1.67 × 5
t = 8.35 seconds
b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.
Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,
such that
∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)
c. According to Stanley,
dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m
which is the same as in part (a)
