A. By referring to forces at work in the atomic nucleus, how can you

1 answer:

There is an unstable ratio of protons and neutrons. Because protons are positively charged but neutrons have no charge, an increase in the number of protons means there needs to be an increase in the number of neutrons to "bind" the nucleus together. This is because like charges repel, so the protons will repel each other, and if there aren't enough neutrons to act as "glue" to hold the nucleus together, the nucleus will break apart.

Why is gold considered matter?

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and can't be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions. Gold, in this case, is an element so, therefore, it is considered matter.

Which types of electron orbitals will have higher energy than a 4d orbital?

alexdok [17]

Answer:

D) 4f

Explanation:

To determine which electron orbital that will have higher energy than a 4d orbital, we write the electron configuration starting with s-orbital.

2s 2p

3s 3p 3d 3f

4s 4p 4d 4f

5s 5p 5d 5f

6s 6p 6d 6f

7s 7p 7d 7f

In ascending order, 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 3f, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p, 6f, 7d, 7f.

From the electronic configuration formula above, the electron orbitals that have higher energy than a 4d orbital are 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p, 6f, 7d, 7f.

Therefore, 4f is the correct answer.

At what temperature will a solid melt?

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A solid will melt at the temperature at which the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.

Explanation:

The melting point is the state at which "a substance changes its temperature from a solid to liquid". At the melting point temperature, there is an equilibrium between the both the solid and the liquid phase. When the solid particle is heated by increasing the temperature the particle in the solid vibrate quickly and it absorbs kinetic energy.

It leads to the breaking of the organisation of particle in between the solid and that leads to the melting of solid. Thus, at the melting point, the kinetic energy breaks the inter-molecular attractions.
