Go from left to right across the periods and into the upper right hand corner. ( Nobel gasses excepted )
The atoms become smaller in atomic radius.
Thermal Energy
thermal energy.
Polyethylene gets harder as the number of carbon atoms increases.
The energy level increases and becomes more instable when two bonded atoms become separated.
It's attraction for electrons
The current is the flow of electrons. Temperature is the movement of atoms. As the current increases there is more collisions between the atoms and the electrons. Some of the energy from the electrons is transferred to the atoms, thus they move faster and so the temperature increases.
Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.
covalent
Polyethylene gets harder as the number of carbon atoms increases.
This is because the medium then has atoms closer together making it easier to transmit motion between the atoms.
Covalent nature of the bond
Increases it by one mass unit.
Atoms comprising a molecule move faster as heat increases.
The thermal vibration of the atoms in the material increases the resistance of that substance. The resistance is greatly depends on temperature.
The atoms become smaller in atomic radius.
