The gases like nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases because they do not absorb infrared radiation.

<h3>What are Greenhouse gases?</h3>

Greenhouse gas is a gas that has the property of absorb infrared radiation from the Earth’s surface and reradiate back to the Earth’s surface, thus contributing to the greenhouse effect.

<h3>What is infrared radiation?</h3>

Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths longer than those of visible light.

Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and water vapour are the most important greenhouse gases.

Hence, nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases despite being in the atmosphere.

Answer:they are transparent to infrared light.

Explanation:because they are transparent to infrared light. These molecules are invisible because when you stretch one, it doesn't change the electric field

Calculate the mass of MNO2 needed to produce 25.0 g of Cl2
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
I will solve this question assuming the reaction equation look like this:
<span>MnO2 + 4 HCl ---> MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2 H2O. 
</span>
For every one molecule of MnO2 used, there will be one molecule of Cl2 formed. If the molecular mass of MnO2 is 87g/mol and molecular mass of Cl2 is <span> 73.0 g/mol, the mass of MnO2 needed would be:
Cl mass/Cl molecular mass * MnO2 molecular mass=
25g/ (73g/mol) * (87g/mol) * 1/1= 29.8 grams</span>

The force of attraction between a divalent cation and a divalent anion is 1.64 x 10-8 N. If the ionic radius of the cation is 0.
Elden [556K]

The radius of the anion is 7.413 nm

<h3>How to calculate the force of attraction between charges</h3>

The force of attraction (F) is given by the formula:

  • F = (1/4π∈r²)(Zc*e)(Za*e)

where:

∈ = permittivity of free space = 8.85*10⁻¹⁵ F/m

Zc = charge on the cation = +2

Zc = charge on the anion = -2

e = charge on an electron = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = interionic distance

r = rc + ra

where rc and ra are the radius of the cation and anion respectively

F = 1.64 * 10⁻⁸ N

Therefore based on the equation of force of attraction:

1.64 *10⁻⁸ = [1/4π(8.85*10⁻¹⁵)r²](2 * 1.602*10⁻¹⁹)²

r² = 5.63 * 10⁻¹⁷

r = 7.50 nm

Since r = rc + ra

where rc = 0.087 nm

thus, ra = r - rc = 7.50 - 0.087

ra = 7.413 nm

Therefore, the radius of the anion is 7.413 nm

ddd [48]

The answer is electron.

The nucleus of a neutral potassium atom is "surrounded" by electron.

The neutral potassium atom contains equal number of protons and neutrons, and there are 19 electrons and 19 protons while 20 neutrons.

20 protons and 20 neutrons are there in the nucleus while  19 electrons surrounds the nucleus in different orbits .
