    Why does charge transfer reduce the covalent component of a heteropolar bond?

    In THE THEORY OF REALMATERIALS(Annu. Rev. Mater. Sci. 2000. 30:1–26), Marvin L. Cohen states that "Because charge transfer reduces the covalent component of a heteropolar bond, B0 is also reduced." Can you explain that connection between charge transfer and covalent component of a...

    What was the x component of the initial velocity of the ball?

    A ball is thrown into the air from ground level. After a time t = 2 s, the ball has traveled to a position x1 = 27 m to the right of and y1 = 10 m up from where it was thrown (at this time, the x and y components of the ball's velocity are still positive). The axes show the x and y directions to...

    Particle interchange and z component of spin

    The one thing that is NOT identical for different particles in a state is the z component of spin, having a probability of being positive or negative. So when interchanging particles how do you handle the z component of the spin, it simply can't be interchanged along with the position and...

    Trasformation of vectors component when changing coordinate system

    Hi everyone I have a little problem in understanding the trasformation of vectors component when passing to a different coordinate system (abbreviated CS). Theory says that the components of a vector in the first CS x with component (V^0,V^1,...,V^n) will transform changing CS according to...

    Shouldn't this force have a horizontal component, too?

    In the solution manual (which I never trust) the tension vector of the rope that emerges from point A only has a vertical component when calculating the sum of all moments on joint C. I disagree with the solution manual, since this vector also has a horizontal component, and if you calculate its...
