A bound state is when particles are held together by a force, such as in an atom or molecule. In a bound state, the particles have lower energy and are stable. In contrast, a free state is when particles are not bound together and can move independently. Bound states have specific energy levels and are more stable than free states.

Why do the values of resistivity differ so much between materials?

The values of resistivity differ between materials due to variations in their atomic structure, electron configuration, and bonding characteristics. Materials with more free electrons, such as metals, have lower resistivity, while insulating materials with tightly bound electrons have higher resistivity. The presence of impurities and defects in a material can also influence its resistivity.


In what the state of matter is oxygen?

Oxygen can be a solid, liquid, or gas, depending on the temperature and pressure and on what other elements it is bound to in a chemical compound. Free molecular oxygen, as found in the Earth's atmosphere, is a gas. Oxygen bound with hydrogen in the Earth's oceans is a liquid. Oxygen bound with iron in iron oxide (rust) is a solid.


What are the characteristics of conductors and insulators?

Conductors have high electrical conductivity and allow the flow of electric current easily. They typically have free electrons that can move through the material. Insulators, on the other hand, have high resistivity and do not allow the flow of electric current easily. They have few free electrons that are tightly bound to their atoms.


What are the two characteristics of a free-falling object?

there arent any.


When does a nucleon have more mass?

A nucleon has more mass when it is not bound to the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleon is bound to other nucleons the binding energy that keeps them together comes from the mass of the nucleon. Therefore the mass of a single nucleon will be smaller in an atom than on it's own.

Is a deforestation a free or bound morpheme?

Type your answer here... forest is the free morpheme


What is free and bound morphemes?

Free morphemes can stand alone as a word, while bound morphemes need to be attached to a free morpheme to convey meaning. For example, "book" is a free morpheme while the "-ed" in "walked" is a bound morpheme.


What is the antonym of bound?

The antonyms of bound are allowed, free, permitted, unbounded, and unrestricted.


True or false Ribosomes differ from other organelles in that they are membrane bound?

False. Ribosomes are not membrane-bound organelles. They are small, complex structures responsible for protein synthesis within the cell. They can be found free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.


Is grate in 'grateful' a free morpheme?

No, "grate" in "grateful" is not a free morpheme. In this context, "grateful" is derived from the root "grate," which is a bound morpheme meaning "to give thanks." The word "grateful" combines the bound morpheme with the suffix "-ful," indicating a quality or state, rather than standing alone as a complete word.

What is the difference between free and bound morpheme?

Free morphemes can stand alone as words, while bound morphemes need to be attached to another morpheme to form a word. Free morphemes have meaning on their own, while bound morphemes only have meaning when attached to other morphemes.

Where can I find sample driving permit tests online?

I would search for free driving tests for your particular state. Although most laws are the same from state to state some may differ. I did find a free practice permit test online at www.drivingdirectory.com/test, but I have not personally tried this out.


What is the difference between fatty acids and free fatty acids?

Free fatty acids are those long chain acids (fatty acids) that are not conjugated or attached to anything else. That is, they are "free", and not bound. Fatty acids that are attached to, for example, glycerol, are not longer considered "free". They can also be bound to proteins, like albumin, again, making them not "free", because they are bound.

How did free-soilers differ from abolitionist?

Abolitionists wanted to end slavery, while "Free Soilers" were more interested in making sure the state they lived in was not a slave state. Some people were both, but there were Free Soilers who (perhaps through believing that slavery could not be done away with completely) had only the goal of making sure the new territory they had moved into entered the Union as a free state.
