Why is chlorine a nonmetal? What is the mass number of argon? Why is californium in the actinide category? Is potassium-argon dating absolute? What is the noble gas configuration for silicon? Is argon a greenhouse gas? What are the 6 noble gases that occur naturally?
Explain why graphite has a lower melting point than diamond even though both are carbon compounds. Why does carbon make up all organic molecules? Why not silicon, which is also in the 4th group of the periodic table? Why does graphite conduct elec...
One of the more familiar processes that is thought to allow carbon dioxide absorption is melting ice. This is a very natural process, however, it can also happen when the Earth is under high pressure or when clouds are blocking the sun’s rays. While it may seem like a very complicated ...
Glass, usually made of silicon dioxide,doesn't change its shape over the short timescales relevant to humans, says chemist Paddy Royall of the University of Bristol, England. (If it does change shape, that process takes billions of years.) Is ice a true solid? ice,solid substanceproduced by...
Not Legal Not Leaving One year ago, Jose Antonio argas publicly revealed hes an undocumented immigrant. Now he reports on life in citizenship limbo and how others coming out can change the debate P h o tog rap h s by Gi an P a ul L oz z a for TIM E argas, May 24, New York Ci...
Graphene has a very high melting point and is very strong because of its large regular arrangement of carbon atoms joined by covalent bonds . Like graphite,
The explanation I'm pleased with is that the bigger silicon atom makes subgroups more mobile in the liquid, while the solid holds them in place. Then: A liquid silane sticks less to a solid surface, because its shape misfits the crystal most often; ...
Explain why low-density polyethylene is good for making grocery bags, but super high molecular weight polyethylene must be used in applications for which strength and high wear resistance are needed. Aluminum and silicon are side-by-...
that well-trained computer jockeys spend thousands of hours and a huge chunk of money masturbating with silicon may impress people with a mental age of 12. It does notimpress me. Climate changecomputer modeling has all of the trappings of science, but it has completely forgotten that real ...
It only needs an AI boost - you know, not you tediously (and perhaps erroneously) checking the boxes, manually, but Comrade Silicon Valley deducing your dimwitted answers the AI way. (hah? this late hour, knock-knock at the door? wait a minute, let me see... yes? who? arr...
