These waxes are highly hydrophobic (repellant) of water, so the correct answer would be D) repel.

The wax coating put on the car creates a water repellant sheila that causes the water to bead up on the surface of the wax, rather than directly impacting the paint and surface of the body of the car. This prolongs the life and quality of the appearance of the car.

Answer: D) repel

Explanation:

Car wax is particularly used after car washing and polishing. This will allow the addition of a layer of shine to the car. The composition of beeswax and carnauba wax are the two additives which are included in the car wax. This composition is hydrophobic in nature which means the wax components will not mix with water or any other solvent and will help in retaining the shine over the body of car.

On the basis of the above explanation, the wax components will repel water.

Which of the following is true concerning ψ²? A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space. B) ψ² describes t

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space.

Explanation:

The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger formulated an equation that describes the behavior and energies of submicroscopic particles in general.

The Schrödinger equation incorporates both particle behavior, in terms of mass m, and wave behavior, in terms of a wave function ψ, which depends on the location in space of the system (such as an electron in an atom).

The probability of finding the electron in a certain region in space is proportional to the square of the wave function, ψ². According to wave theory, the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave, or ψ². The most likely place to find a photon is where the intensity is greatest, that is, where the value of ψ² is greatest. A similar argument associates ψ² with the likelihood of finding an electron in regions surrounding the nucleus.

When Johann Schweigger invented the first galvanometer, what did he recognize could be used to measure current:"

lukranit [14]

He improved and followed from the works of Luigi Galvani, which used a 'frog galvanoscope' as a prototype of measuring current. He recognized that a compass could actually measure current, given that it is placed near coil of wire.
