When a solid melts, why does it absorb energy?

1 answer:

5 0

In order for the molecules to actually separate from each other, more energy must be added. This energy, called heat of fusion or heat of melting, is absorbed by the particles as potential energy as the solid changes to a liquid. I hope this helps

Elena L [17]

Answer:

ATGGCCTA

Explanation:

For this we have to keep in mind that we have a specific relationship between the nitrogen bases:

-) When we have a T (thymine) we will have a bond with A (adenine) and viceversa.

-) When we have C (Cytosine) we will have a bond with G (Guanine) and viceversa.

Therefore if we have: TACCGGAT. We have to put the corresponding nitrogen base, so:

TACCGGAT

ATGGCCTA

Answer:

Doping with galium or indium will yield a p-type semiconductor while doping with arsenic, antimony or phosphorus will yield an n-type semiconductor.

Explanation:

Doping refers to improving the conductivity of a semiconductor by addition of impurities. A trivalent impurity leads to p-type semiconductor while a pentavalent impurity leads to an n-type semiconductor.

Are alchemy and chemistry the same

Anit [1.1K]

Are alchemy and chemistry the same: No

Explanation:

Alchemy and chemistry differ from each other. Their main difference lies in the concepts that they are based on. Alchemy has the base of viewing the reality of nature supernaturally. Chemistry has a base of viewing the reality in a natural way.

Protoscience is the name given for Alchemy. This is because that alchemy usually focuses on the traditional things like procedures and terminologies. Chemistry always focuses on the matter and their transformations. The matter and its transformations are dealt with chemistry.
