In class we solved schrodinger’s equation to get the wave functions for an electron trapped in an infinite 1-dimensional square well potential. this potential is a reasonable approximation of the potential energy for an electron in an isolated segment of wire. if the wire is length l, what wavelengths are allowed for the wave function of the electron?

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.

Which sections of the heating curve illustrate this process?

What electron configurations do atoms usually achieve by sharing electrons to form covalent bonds?
