Which electron is, on average, close to the nucleus: an electron in a 2s orbital or an electron in a 3s orbital?

1 answer:

6 0

electron is, on average, close to the nucleus: an electron in a 2s orbital or an electron in a 3s orbital is electrons . The electron in 2s orbital are closer to the nucleus than those of 3s orbital.

The 3s orbital electron posses more energy than those electrons in 2s orbital. The size of orbital is determine by the principal quantum number n. The higher the value of n , the farther the orbital from the nucleus . And same as the electron situated to orbital.

Thus, electron is, on average, close to the nucleus: an electron in a 2s orbital or an electron in a 3s orbital is electrons . The electron in 2s orbital are closer to the nucleus than those of 3s orbital.

Review energy changes by identifying the correct statements about each reaction.

Grace [21]

Answer: The reaction is exothermic

The $\Delta H$ value is negative.

Heat is a product.

Explanation:

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)+136.6kcal$

Endothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is greater than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is absorbed in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be positive.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and $\Delta H$ for the reaction comes out to be negative.

The substances which are written on the left side of the arrow are reactants and the substances which are written on the right side of the arrow are products. Thus heat is a product.

Give 1 example of a chemical reaction that is involved in coral<br> bleaching.

const2013 [10]

2HCO3 - + Ca2+ CaCO3 + CO2 + H2O Bicarbonate (HCO3-) combines with calcium ions in the water to make calcium carbonate (CaCO3, limestone). This process can occur both within organisms such as corals or as a simple chemical reaction in the water itself.
