Explanation:

Six’s Maximum and Minimum thermometer is a U shaped parallel tube made up of glass. One side registers the maximum temperature and the other side records the minimum temperature.
The bend at the bottom of the thermometer contains mercury which moves up or down based on the expansion and contraction of alcohol.
When the temperature rises, the alcohol expands and pushes the mercury up the maximum column. This also pushes the mercury down in the minimum column.
Similarly, when the temperature falls, the alcohol contracts and pulls the mercury up in the minimum column resulting in a fall of mercury in the maximum column.
The steel indexes are located on the surface of mercury. They move along with the flow of mercury up and down.
When the temperature reaches its maximum and minimum limits, the metal indexes remain at that place. This helps in recording the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day.

Chlorine exist in Nature as two Chlorine atoms covalently bonded together Why does this occur

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

It is one of the 7 diatomics

Explanation:

^ these are the 7 diatomic molecules. Atoms of these elements exist as a molecule consisting of two covalently bonded atoms of the same element.

Simply put, for these elements, the diatomic state of the atom is much more stable than the unbound one.

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

$\Delta U = q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

For a proton,

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And since $\Delta V=100 V$

The energy gained by the proton is

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

For an alpha particle,

$q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the energy gained is

$\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$
