Question
Chapter 8, Problem 8.90PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A short summary should be written to explain how researches over Geckos have resulted into adhesive designing.
Concept introduction:
Geckos have capacity to climb smooth vertical walls through the tips of its tiny hair like setae in its feet.
As per the researches, this climbing occurs due to the Van der waal’s forces between the setae of its feet and the surface of the walls.
The researches are done to create such adhesive or tapes which could mimic this behavior.

- • Density: In both solids and liquids, the molecules are held very closely together and therefore their densities are about the same. In gases, there is space between the molecules. • Molecular movement and order: The molecules in solids are arranged in a regular pattern that does not allow for diffusion, although does allow for vibrations. The arrangement of molecules in a liquid, although not completely random, is not completely fixed. Molecules in a gas are randomly arranged and move very quickly. Gases diffuse quickly in comparison to liquids. Compressibility and thermal expansion: Since the molecules in solids and liquids are already very close together, applying pressure does not greatly affect the volume. In contrast, the space between gas molecules allows for a great deal of compressibility. Although temperature changes will cause slight variations in the volume of a solid or liquid, those variations are negligible compared to the thermal expansion of a gas.

O MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions held in a fixed lattice, but in MgO() the ions are free to move, and can therefore conduct electricity. MgO(s) contains molecules, but MgO(1) consists of a fixed lattice of Mg2+ and O2- ions that can conduct electricity. MgO(s) does not contain free electrons, but MgO(1) contains free electrons that can flow. MgO(s) consists of separate Mg2* and O2 ions, but MgO(1) contains molecules that can conduct electricity. MgO(s) does not contain water, but MgO(0) contains water that can conduct electricity.arrow_forward
