Which group contains elements that have the following characteristics:

1) At least one is a metalloid.
2) At least one forms an ion with a charge of -2.
3) At least one is a gas.
4) At least one is a halogen.

Two nitro no2 groups are chemically bonded to a patch of surface. they can't move to another location on the surface, but they can rotate (see sketch at right). it turns out that the amount of rotational kinetic energy each no2 group can have is required to be a multiple of ε, where =ε×1.010−24 j. in other words, each no2 group could have ε of rotational kinetic energy, or 2ε, or 3ε, and so forth — but it cannot have just any old amount of rotational kinetic energy. suppose the total rotational kinetic energy in this system is initially known to be 32ε. then, some heat is removed from the system, and the total rotational kinetic energy falls to 18ε. calculate the change in entropy. round your answer to 3 significant digits, and be sure it has the correct unit symbol.

In the millikan oil drop experiment they determined that every drop had a charge which was a while number multiple of -1.60x10^-19. if a drop has a total charge of -9.60x10^-19 then how many excess electrons are contained within the drop?

Which substance—wood or silver—is the better thermal conductor? a thermal conductor is a material that requires very little heat energy to change its temperature. explain your answer.
