Which of the following statements is true about the relationship between the speed of sound and the density of a medium?
Sound waves travel faster in denser mediums.
Sounds waves travel slower in denser mediums.
Sound waves do not travel in dense mediums.
The density of a medium does not affect the speed of sound waves
Sounds waves travel faster in denser mediums.
Which physical properties can be used to differentiate between metals and non-metals? (1 point)
Malleability
Conductivity
Transparency
Solubility
Conductivity
are you sure?
Apologies for the confusion. Both malleability and conductivity can be used to differentiate between metals and non-metals. Malleability refers to the ability of a substance to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets, which is a characteristic property of metals. Conductivity refers to the ability of a substance to conduct heat or electricity, and metals generally have high conductivity compared to non-metals. Transparency and solubility are not specific properties used to differentiate between metals and non-metals.
so which is right?
Both malleability and conductivity are physical properties that can be used to differentiate between metals and non-metals. Malleability refers to the ability to hammer or roll a substance into thin sheets, and metals are generally malleable while non-metals are not. Conductivity refers to the ability to conduct heat and electricity, and metals generally have high conductivity while non-metals have lower conductivity.
which one? Malleability or Conductivity?
Apologies for the confusion. Malleability is a property that can be used to differentiate between metals and non-metals. Metals are generally malleable, meaning they can be hammered or rolled into thin sheets. Non-metals, on the other hand, are generally not malleable.
Conductivity is also a property that can be used to differentiate between metals and non-metals. Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, while non-metals are typically poor conductors.
Therefore, both malleability and conductivity can be used as physical properties to differentiate between metals and non-metals.
