Answer:
Water breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen is a decomposition reaction
Hydrogen and oxygen combining to form water is a synthesis reaction
Explanation:
A decomposition reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the breakdown of a chemical reactant entity into two or more simpler product fragments
Water H₂O undergoes a decomposition reaction by breaking down into hydrogen, H₂,, and oxygen, O₂, as follows;
2H₂O (l) → 2H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)
A synthesis reaction is a reaction that involves the chemical combination of two or more dissimilar molecules or atoms to produce a different compound or molecule
Water, H₂O, is formed by a synthesis reaction of hydrogen, H₂,, and oxygen, O₂, combining as follows;
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
Answer:
Explanation:
Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²
According to the Gauss theorem,
Electric field due to the sheet is given by
E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C
Protons and neutrons are packed together in a very small region called nucleus. Protons are positively charged and we know that like charges repel. Then how is it that protons are not repelling each other and flying away from nucleus?
You may think that gravitational force is holding all the protons together but it is not so. Gravitational force is many times weaker than repulsive force.
It is actually strong force which holds proton together. At this short distance, strong force comes into play and is several times stronger than the repulsive force.
