5 0

Answer:

Static Electricity.

Explanation:

Static electricity is defined as 'an electric charge that has built up on an insulated body, often due to friction.' <u> It is an outcome of the disparity among the positive, as well as, negative charges residing in a body</u> or object and causes the charge to build up on the surface of the body. The accumulation of electric charges on the objects like wool, hair, silk, plastic, etc. causes them to possess static electricity. These charges stay on the surface until it is discharged or released through a source. Thus, <u>'static electricity</u>' is the correct answer.

This gas law works only if temperature is recorded in ———— units
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Kelvin

Explanation:

  • Gas laws re the laws that relates properties of gases such as pressure, temperature and volume at different conditions.
  • Gas laws includes, Boyle's law, Charles law, grahams law and pressure law among others.
  • Temperature is one of the quantity of gases explained by gas laws. For gas laws to work, temperature should always be in Kelvin. Therefore, when given temperature in degrees, it is converted to Kelvin by adding 273, that is °C + 273 = K.

Scilla [17]

Answer: 1.  C. polar covalent: electrons shared between silicon and sulfur but attracted more to the sulfur

2. B)  NH_3

3. B) Fluorine

Explanation:

1. A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms.

Electronegativity difference = electronegativity of sulphur- electronegativity of silicon = 2.5 -1.8 = 0.7

Thus as electronegativity difference is less than 1.7 , the cond is polar covalent and as electronegativity of sulphur is more , the electrons will be more towards sulphur.

2. A molecular compound is usually composed of two or more nonmetal elements. Example: NH_3

Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electrons from metals to non metals. Example: Mg_3N_2 , AlCl_3 and LiBr

3.  For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here K is having an oxidation state of +1 and as the compound formed is KZ, the oxidation state of non metallic element Z should be -1. Thus the element Z is flourine which exists as diatomic gas F_2

Explain why photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the “real circle of life”
BabaBlast [244]

Explanation:Photosynthesis is important because the earth and all of the creatures in the sea and land need the plants to be able to feed themselves with the help of the sun and with cellular respiration, those plants are able to take in the carbon dioxide that we give and make into oxygen with we need. there fore without them we would not be able to exist.
