What type of properties do valence elcectrons determine for an element?
Valence electrons determine the reactivity of the element.
To made House use electric heater which element is better?
The best element to use is a 3 phase electric heater that has a guard over the element protecting you from brushing against the hot part and stopping the element from starting a fire if the heater is pushed element down onto the floor
Can I use 240 volt heater elements in a 120 volt hot water heater?
No. For an example using a 3500 watt element. The amperage through the element will be I = W/E, 3500/120 = 29 amps. The resistance of this 3500 watt element will be R = E/I, 120/29 = 4.13 ohms. Now using the 200 volts and finding the amperage I = E/R, 200/4.13 = 48 amps. The new wattage of the element has become W = A x V, 48 x 200 = 9600 watts. The element will not stand the increase in amperage and will burn open. To operate on 200 volts and still have a 3500 element in the tank you will have to find an element with a resistance of 12 ohms. I = W/E, 3500/200 = 17 amps. R = E/I = 200/17 = 12 ohms. This is a resistance three times more than the 120 volt element to achieve the 3500 watt rating.
Does an electron determine what element it is?
The number of protons determine which element an atom is and normally the number of electrons is equal to it. Strip an electron off an iron atom and you have an ionised iron atom.
What determins an element?
You can determine what element an atom is by it's amount of sub-atomic particles and their positions. Every element has a different amount of electrons, so that is the easiest way to determine what type an atom is. If you wanted to determine it more broadly, for example, which group an element was in, you could just count the amount of electrons in the outer shell, as each group is unique in this way.
How many protons does have calcium?
Calcium has 20 Protons. You can determine the amount of Protons in an Element by checking the top number of an element. This is called the Atomic number. Calcium has 20 protons
What is an electric element?
An electric element is a metal part inside a kettle that makes the wate get hot
What electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit
What type of properties do valence elcectrons determine for an element?
Valence electrons determine the reactivity of the element.
What glows when an electric circuit is closed?
Examples are the tungsten element inside a light bulb, and the heating element bars of an electric fire.
What is the identity of an element determine by?
The identity of an element is determined by the number of protons.
Are electric skillets the same as electric cookers?
Both electric skilles and electric cookers operate on the same type of cooking element but the utensil itself is different. However, a electric skillet is the same utensil as a skillet but uses the electric element to heat the food and the electric cooker is similar but it is more in the shape of a pan.
What is connects the electric current?
it is nothing but electrons of atoms of that element that connects the electric current.
To made House use electric heater which element is better?
The best element to use is a 3 phase electric heater that has a guard over the element protecting you from brushing against the hot part and stopping the element from starting a fire if the heater is pushed element down onto the floor
Which component of the atom can change its identity to a new element?
Protons determine which element an atom is.
What comprises the element of an electric cell?
pedro is awesome
