Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Substances are composed of bands. A band is a group of molecular orbitals, the energy differences between them are so small that the system behaves as if a continuous, non-quantization of energy within the barrier is possible.

Materials consists of a valence band and a conduction band separated by a band gap. A band gap occurs when the energy difference between two bands is significant.

The magnitude of band gap determines whether a material will be a metal, nonmetal or metalloid.

Metals have a very little band gap hence they are able to conduct electricity more effectively than other materials, such as ionic and covalent substances.

A topaz crystal has an interplanar spacing (d) of 1.36 Å (1 Å =1×10^[−10] m). Calculate the wavelength of the X-ray that should
bija089 [108]

Answer:

7.0*10-11m or 70Å

Explanation:

From Bragg's equation, w=2dsinx/n

Since all the parameters are specified in the question, we can easily go ahead to obtain the wavelength but we must convert the spacing given in angstroms to meters using the conversion factor provided as shown in the solution below:

Answer:

solid, liquid

Explanation:

solid liquid and gas are the three most common states of matter, my best guessstimation is that solid is the ¨normal form¨ with you having to then heat it up to get to gas or, change it to liquid... even though most of the earth is liquid soo it could also be liquid try your best and think it over
