Answer:

Explanation:

None of the other answers matter but the right answer which A. Silicon has an outer shell of 4. Carbon can connect with 4 elements because of its outer shell. CH4 is the simplest example. But C2H6 is also possible.

H H

H - C - C - H

H H

There are 4 connections to the outside world for the Carbon (C) on the left.

It has 3 hydrogens connected on to it and one of its connecting electrons goes with the other carbon on the right.

Silicon can do the same thing.

Equal masses of he and ne are placed in a sealed container. What is the partial pressure of he if the total pressure in the cont

EastWind [94]

Answer:

6 atm.

Explanation:

Let the mass of both be m

Then moles of He = m/ 4

Moles of Ne = m/ 20

mole fraction of He = Moles of He/ Total moles = m/4/ (m/4 + m/20) = 0.25 m/0.3m = 0.83

Pressure of He = Mole fraction×total pressure = 0.83 × 6 atm = 5 atm

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence $\lambda$ = 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$ , here t is thickness, $\lambda$ is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values $t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm$

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Newton's first law states that objects do not change their velocity unless acted upon

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Air resistance/Drag (this is the proper term for air resistance) or gravity or friction

It depends on the direction and if you throw it across a surface or if you throw it straight upwards.

I hope this helps!!
