Using the concepts of bond energy and bound length.

1) Why materials usually expand when heated?

2) Why some metals expand more easily than others?

Expert Solution

1) The materials genrally made of molecles formed by atoms bonded together.When temprature is increased the vibrational energy of the bond increases depending on the force constant of a bond the bond vibration varies as the bond vibration increses an bond energy also tends to increase and hence lengthning the bond and making the compound to expand.

2) Some metals expand more than others due to differences in the forces between the atoms / molecules. In metals such as iron the forces between the atoms are stronger so it is more difficult for the atoms to move around . In brass the forces are a little weaker so the atoms are free to move about more

Hence increase in temprature increases the bond energy hence making the bonds longer and materials expand.

1. Employers usually do not have policies on using the telephone at work. Why, then, do employers need to develop policies on monitoring the use of e-mail, the Internet use, social media, and other forms of technology? 2. Few studies have considered the impact of monitoring on employee behaviour. Does it reduce crime, and make workplaces safer and more productive? Or does it increase stress, and result in an adversarial relationship? What do you think and why? 3. If an...

(1) Briefly explain why no energy is expended at the moment of peptide bond formation during protein synthesis. (2) You discover a new antibiotic that specifically acts to inhibit peptide bond formation but does not affect any steps before that. What specific part of the ribosome (name it) would this inhibitor most likely affect DIRECTLY? (3) During translation translocation, it can be said that a peptidyl tRNA moves to the P site and a deacylated tRNA moves to the E...

1. When we (humans) exercise we need energy. Why do we need this energy? Where do we get this energy from? Certain tissues which account for 40-50% of our body mass utilize a lot of energy and are especially important in exercise. Describe in detail how the “energy” gets to this tissue and how it is utilized by this tissue during low and vigorous exercise. What happens when the tissue does not have enough “energy” and when would a situation...
