Answer:
B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.
Explanation:
The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :
1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.
2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.
3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.
4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.
The correct option is B.
Answer:
Compounds between Nonmetals and Nonmetals
Compounds that consist of a nonmetal bonded to a nonmetal are commonly known as Molecular Compounds, where the element with the positive oxidation state is written first. In many cases, nonmetals form more than one binary compound, so prefixes are used to distinguish them.
1. big bang-the most accepted theory on the origin of the universe <span>
2. steady state-</span>all is the same and will always stay the same <span>
3. oscillating universe-</span>agrees with the big bang theory, but insists the universe expanded much quicker <span>
4. inflation-</span>it's like an inflating and deflating balloon that never stops
Answer:
Explanation:
The Rydberg equation gives the wavelength λ for the transitions:
where
R= the Rydberg constant (1.0974 ×10⁷ m⁻¹) and
Data:
λ = 657 nm
Calculation:
Bioaccumulation refers to the accumulation of chemicals in a living organism. The compound or chemical accumulates at a rate faster than it is being metabolized or excreted by the organism. Chemicals bioaccumulate by binding to the proteins and fats in an organism while others bioaccumulate through the repeated consumption of contaminated organisms.
Pesticides containing chemicals that dissolve easily in fat but not in water tend to bioaccumulate. Pesticides that contain chemicals that can easily be metabolized by organisms do not bioaccumulate. In summary, the nature of the chemical used in pesticides and the capability of organisms to metabolize the said chemicals can dictate whether it will bioaccumulate or not.
