To determine

The reason for atoms of a conductor usually contains valence electrons.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Conductors are formed from materials which have large and heavy atoms. Most of materials which conducts are metals. Conductors are formed from the atoms which usually have one or more electrons in their valence shell.

An atom with only one valence electron is the best electrical conductor because of the loosely held electron orbit and it can be easily abandoned for current flow. Thus the conductors have electrons with one or two electrons in the valence shell.

Arterioles bifurcate (i.e., split) into capillaries in the circulatory system. Blood flows at a velocity of 20 cm/s through an arteriole with a diameter of 0.20 cm. This vessel bifurcates into two vessels: one with a diameter of 0.17 cm and a blood flow velocity of 18 cm/sec, and one with a diameter of 0.15 cm. Each of these two vessels splits again. The 0.17-cm diameter vessel splits into two vessels, each with a diameter of 0.15 cm. The 0.15-cm diameter vessel splits into two vessels, each with a diameter of 0.12 cm. Determine the mass flow rate and velocity of blood in each of the four vessels at the end of the arteriole bifurcations. You may need to set up several systems, each with a different system boundary, in order to solve this problem.
