I've continued on in the chapter, but I still feel as though I'm learning like a parrot and not getting the concepts clearly enough. If my first post here was too confusing to understand, please let me know. The simple form of my question is as follows:
Why does enthalpy of atomization =...

Sorry if this kind of question is atypical for this forum. I'm trying to understand the physical concepts involved in my chemistry class.
My homework is covering lattice enthalpy, and to get the lattice enthalpy of an ionic compound using the Born-Haber Cycle...

I'm doing a report for a physics lab experiment where we are calculating the radius of the Earth by measuring the time it takes to see the sunset from the base of a cliff looking out into the pacific ocean till when it sets in relation to an observer at the top of the...
Ok, I think I understand what you are saying. Ether would be one way to put it. More directly my own theory of physics from what little I know can only go so far as to think that space and time in reality are just like space and time in a computer simulation. There's the data of where things can...
It sounds as though I'm either using the word 'relative' incorrectly or that you are saying that space as a courier of matter may as well not exist, but then at the same time, what one might see as a point in space or a vacuum in space is actually like another piece of matter which has it's own...
Thank you Jessie, these explanations are very helpful.
Ok, so then, when we say that speed is symmetrical to the observer (right?) then we are saying that light and waves are the only things that are always moving at a speed constant relative to space itself (because the speed of light...
Hi, I have only had a personal interest in physics so far and have yet to complete so much as one basic introductory physics course. I'm in second semester calculus, so I'm not hopeless on some fronts of understanding terms or mathematical ideas, but I have yet to understand what a manifold is...
