Answer:

Expl

Electron: A negatively charged particle found circling or orbiting an atomic nucleus. An electron, like a proton is a charged particle, although opposite in sign, but unlike a proton, an electron has negligible atomic mass. Electrons contribute no atomic mass units to the total atomic weight of an atom.\anation:

Anions are formed when an electron is gained. When this occurs there are more electron-electron repulsions and there is a lower net nuclear attraction per electron. This will cause the electrons push each other away and spread out, causing the atom to become larger.

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by iodide ion. The catalyzed reaction is thought to proceed by a two-step me
slega [8]

Answer:

The two-step mechanism is a slow mechanism and a fast mechanism. When we combine them, the result is

2H₂O₂ (aq) ⇒2H₂O (l) + O₂ (g)

Explanation:

We know that the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by iodide ion, which means that the iodide ion will react with the hydrogen peroxide. There is a slow mechanism and a fast one:

H₂O₂(aq) + I₋(aq) ⇒ H₂O(l) + IO₋(aq) this is the slow reaction

IO₋(aq) + H₂O₂(aq)⇒ H₂O(l) + O₂(g) + I₋ (aq) this is the fast reaction

If we cancel the same type of molecules and ions, the final result is:

2H₂O₂ (aq) ⇒2H₂O (l) + O₂ (g)

What are nanochemicals and what are there uses?
NARA [144]

Nanochemicals can be defined as chemicals generated by using nanomaterials (materials that possess of size on nanometer dimensions). The nanochemicals are used in multiple different applications including chemical warfare, bicycle making, armor design and military weapons crafting. The most commonly used and observed nanochemicals are carbon nanotubes that are used a ton in industry for applications such as stronger materials (stronger bicycles).

Smart materials are exquisitely designed materials whose property(ies) can be modified with the use of an external stimulus such as temperature, stress, pH, and so on. Some examples of smart materials include shape memory materials, piezoelectric materials, ferrofluids, self-healing materials, and such. Applications involve memory pillows, memory based solar panels (for satellites), light sensitive glasses, and so on.

Specialized materials are made specifically to perform a specified task or function. Applications involve electronic equipment (high purity silicon & germanium), machine tools (high tungsten high carbon steel), dental filling (dental amalgam), and so on.
