What is the relationship between conductivity and strength of bases?
The stronger the base, the less electrical conductivity.
Ion-dipole attractions are stronger than dipole-dipole attractions because?
Because ions are a whole 1+ or 2-, whereas dipoles are "a little bit (-) or a little bir (+)." So the stronger the charge, the stronger the attraction for the opposite charge.And that an Ion has a much bigger electrical charge there fore it attracts with more strenght than a dipole.
Why do the electrons stay circling around the nucleus if they are not connected?
I am not quite sure what you mean with "not connected"; the electron is attracted, via the electrical force, to the nucleus. This is the "connection" that keeps it there - as long as there is no stronger force to pull it away.
Is Jupiter stronger or weaker than earth gravity?
It is stronger.
Who was a stronger Olympian god Ares or Apollo?
Ares is stronger in muscles, Apollo is stronger in looks.
How are nanotubes stronger than steel?
It depends on the structure.
What are carbon nanotubes and their applications?
Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical shaped tubes made up of long carbon chains of the thickness of 1 billion of a meter. Their length can expand to as much as several centimetes. The physical properties of carbon nanotube such as about 60 times stronger than steel makes them ideal material in the various field. applications still under research but have wide applications in electrical components ,robotics, mechanical engg etc.
What do you mean by electrical double wrapped cross joint?
An electrical double wrapped cross joint is just like an ordinary cross joint but double wrapped with electrical tape. It is used where two tap conductors need to extend away from the branch conductor in the opposite direction and is stronger than the ordinary cross joint.
Why does metal get stronger with heat?
Metals are conductors of heat and therefore get "hotter faster."
Is the electrical or gravitational force stronger?
Electrical force is stronger because it acts in all directions, whereas gravity is directed only downward.
How does an insulator relate to high or low conduction?
it depends on the conductors properties.The more metallic elements, the more stronger it is
Is an electric eel stronger than a snake?
electrical eel is not stronger then a snake since the snake is a posinious so no
What are the differences between the action of chemical and electrical protective mechanisms of the body?
chemicals weaker and electrical is stronger bei :D
What is stronger inside an atom electric forces or gravitational forces?
Electrical forces.
What is the relationship between conductivity and strength of bases?
The stronger the base, the less electrical conductivity.
The smaller the distance between the objects the stronger?
... the gravitational force between them, and the electrical force if the objects are charged.
Why do you use copper wires in electric wires?
Copper is an excellent conductor, ductile (can be drawn easily), and reasonably economical. For bare conductors, copper oxidises and the oxide coating prevents further corrosion. While it is heavier than aluminum, it is stronger. The alternative, aluminium, is cheaper than copper, but not as good a conductor. Aluminium is lighter, but weaker, and aluminium transmission lines require a steel-core for strength. Aluminium conductors suffer from 'cold flow', which means that aluminium conductors secured with screw terminals tend to work loose over time. Copper doesn't do this, so copper is preferred for residential/commercial electrical wiring systems.
