What is mercury water gold and oxygen from densest to the least dense?
(most dense to least dense) gold, mercury, water, oxygen
What lights up when electricity flows through?
Electricity flows through the path of least resistance. Electricity will flow through anything conductive; metals, liquids, and even through small particles. Your insulators are porcelain, glass, plastics, wood and cloths. All variances of voltage is deadly. The most dangerous thingabout electricity is the current or amperage. As little as 17 miliamps can stop your heart.
What is the study of glass called?
This study would fall under the broad heading of ceramics at least. Optics is a study of light waves and their interactions.
What object is least likely to have a spherical shape?
Mercury has about the most perfectly spherical shape, but Saturn has the leastspherical shape (next least spherical is Jupiter).
What are the special features of Mercury?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the second hottest and second smallest planet in the Solar System. One of Mercury's major features is the Caloris Basin. This large basin (or maria) has a diameter of 1300 kilometers. The Caloris Basin was probably caused by a large impact in the days of the early Solar System. One special feature about Mercury is that it has no plate tectonics. Also, Mercury possesses a thin atmosphere that consists of atoms blown from the surface by solar winds blasted through space by the Sun.Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
Is Mercury least conductive?
No. Mercury is actually rather conductive, being a metal.
What State Of Matter Is The Least Dense water oil mercury or glass?
Oil will sink in water, so is the least dense.
Is brass least conductive?
no, rubber is
Why is the glass of a thermometer so thin?
Glass is a bad conductor of heat, it has to be thin. So that heat should eventually pass to the mercury. And for that purpose we have to keep thermometer for at least two minutes in position.
What is the least thermally conductive material?
Lack of any media like vacuum
What is least dense cork or lead?
Cork is less dense than water because it floats. Both glass and Mercury (a metal) are denser than water.
Which of the following in and of itself is LEAST likely to cause political violence directly?
the condition of poverty
Planet with least mass?
mercury
What planet is least massive?
Mercury
What is mercury water gold and oxygen from densest to the least dense?
(most dense to least dense) gold, mercury, water, oxygen
Why are the conductivities different?
A solution which contains ions is conductive, since the ions are electrically charged and can respond to a voltage. A solution which does not contain ions, but instead has intact molecules (such as sugar, to give a common example) is not very conductive. Of course, water always contains at least a small amount of ions since water itself dissociates into H+ and OH- ions, at least to a slight degree, so water is always at least mildly conductive. There are other solvents and other solutions which are entirely non-conductive.
What is the least conductive substance?
Air, or some other gas, if you really want to get specific. Pure water is the least conductive substance. It is actually used as an electrical insulator by technology labs. The reason it is not widely used is that it is very expensive to produce. It is only the impurities in water that allows electricity to be conducted through it.
