The wave-like property of matter only manifests itself significantly at the quantum level with very small things like electrons. Large samples of matter (like a rock, or a football) also exhibit wave-like properties, but they are immeasurably small.

What is a microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than molecules?

A submicroscopic particle is an entity that is too small to be viewed by any visible means (Including our most powerful microscopes) and can only be determined to BE by mathematical equation.


Is it true that an ionic equation that includes only the particles that participate in the reaction is called a complete ionic equation?

no, it is not


What are equations that include only particles that participate in a reaction?

A net ionic equation.


What is the difference between identity and a conditional equation?

Identity: An equation satisfied by every number that is a meaningful replacement for the variable. Example: 3(X+1)=3X+3Conditional Equation: An equation that is satisfied by some number but not others, such as 2X=4

How many unshared electrons are in the equation CH2 equals CHCH2NH2?

Every bond has 2 shared electrons. There are a total of 11 bonds making 22 shared electrons.


How many electrons do atoms want in their outermost energy level?

The answer is Valence Electrons. Atoms want a full number of electrons in their outer shell, which is why atoms with only one electron missing from their outer shell are most reactive, because they are close to completing that shell. Electrons as such are half-spin particles or fermions. A single particle electron orbital (intended as a solution of a 1-D Schrödinger equation) with occupancies 0 and 1 can have 2 allowed quantum states. Electrons are seen as indistinguishable particles in quantum mechanics. In other words electron 1 is the same as electron 2. We can then state that any electron of appropriate energy will be able to occupy the outermost shell of an element.


What is the answer to the equation 2.3x1.49.66?

That is not an equation. An equation is something like a2+b2=c2 or y=mx+b. What you have looks like a simple multiplication problem, except 1.49.66 is not a meaningful number. Numbers have one and only one decimal point


What are the two meanings of coefficent in chemical equation?

What is the equation use to find the amount of electrons are in fluorine?

The atomic number of an element tells you how many electrons there are and how many protons there are.


What is Einstein law of viscosity?

Einstein's law of viscosity is stated by the equation u = 1 + 2.5 (volume fraction of solid particles). This equation is only used to calculate the relative viscosity of a slurry of fine particles in low concentrations.
