Why are most substances denser in the solid state than in the liquid state?

Physics
1 answer:
Rom4ik [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

For other liquids, solidification when the temperature drops includes the lowering of kinetic energy, which allows molecules to pack more tightly and makes the solid denser than its liquid form. Because ice is less dense than water, it is able to float at the surface of water.

A 100 N force is applied to a 500 kg crate resting on frictionless wheels.
Alla [95]

Answer:

<h2>0.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{100}{500}  =  \frac{1}{5}  = 0.2 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Choose the three statements that are true about valence electrons.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

We have that valence electrons poses the three characteristics stated, as

Group 14 (carbon group)  are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Valence electrons of atoms are used to form bonds.

Group 14 (carbon group)  are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Option A,B,C

<h3>Properties of Valence electrons</h3>

All elements in the same group or family have the same number of valence electrons: Yes, this is true as Group 14 (carbon group) are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Valence electrons are the only subatomic particles involved in forming bonds: Yes, Valence electrons of atoms are used to form bonds.

Carbon has 4 valence electrons because it is found in group 14:

True, Group 14 (carbon group)  are identified by 4 valence electrons.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?
givi [52]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

What unit is used to measure the period of a wave?
mixer [17]

Answer:

D. Meters/Seconds

Explanation:

The time period of a wave is measured in seconds.

A typical wave involves both time and distance.  Consider a sound wave, which is basically a periodic modulation of the local air pressure.  We "hear" the sound because our ears respond to the variations of pressure.

The most common metric of a sound wave is frequency.  This is the rate at which the change in pressure occurs, and is measured in cycles per second, formally known as "hertz".  The period is the inverse of frequency andl has the units of seconds per cycle, commonly stated simply as seconds.
