Answer:

A particle is the smallest possible piece of something, of matter, while a molecule is the smallest particle of an element, for example H2 is molecule, smallest particle of the hydrogen in the air, and the molecule is two or more atoms held with chemical bonds, and have chemical properties.

On Monday while Johnny was getting ready for school, he was in the bathroom holding his comb when he got an itch on his head. Jo

I'd say that his comb has a static electricity charge. It can either be negative, or positive. Let's just say it's positive, and the water is negatively charged. This means that it will affect the water flow when the two charges meet. I hope this helps! ~Mia

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The natural ligand of the cytosolic Aryl hydrocarbon receptor which is still not known.

Explanation:

Dioxin is formed during some industrial chemical processes. It is considered harmful because it causes cancer, weakens the immune system, results in nervous breakdown and also affects reproduction.

The mechanism of operation of Dioxins has not been fully understood. However, it is known that dioxins works through a receptor known as the Aryl hydrocarbon receptor. This receptor is useful in gene expression and also acts as a transcription factor.

Ok heres what i know, one of the reasons why visible light will pass through glass but not through other materials is because the molecules in glass require more energy than average to push electrons from one level to another. Photons in visible light simply do not have enough energy. Only photons of light with shorter wavelengths, such as those that make up ultraviolet light, have the ability to change the electrons in glass. This is why ultraviolet light is unable to pass through glass. Lol im in 6th grade this is all i know ! :)

The student is now told that the four solids, in no particular order, are aluminum chloride (AlCl3), sugar (C6H12O6), benzoic ac

zaharov [31]

Answer:

AlCl₃, NaBr, C₆H₅COOH, C₆H₁₂O₆.

Explanation:

The more ions in solution, the greater the conductivity of a solution because these charged particles can carry electrons in the solution.

In the first place, when AlCl₃ dissolves in water it produces 4 ions:

AlCl₃(aq) ⇄ Al³⁺(aq) + 3 Cl⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in AlCl₃, it will be 4 x 0.20M = 0.80M in ions.

Secondly, NaBr is a strong electrolyte (complete ionization) so it produces 2 moles of ions per each mole of NaBr dissolved:

NaBr(aq) ⇄ Na⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in NaBr, it will be 2 x 0.20M = 0.40M in ions.

Then, benzoic acid is a weak electrolyte (partial ionization) so it will produce less than 2 moles of ions per each mole of benzoic acid dissolved:

C₆H₅COOH(aq) ⇄ C₆H₅COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

If the solution is 0.20M in benzoic acid, the solution will be far below 0.40M in ions.

Finally, sugar has only nonpolar covalent bonds so it will produce no ions in solution, thus being a poor electricity conductor.
