Give explanations for the large drops in melting point from C to Si and from Ge to Sn.

Chemistry

____ [38]2 years ago
3 0

As we move down the group, the metallic bond becomes more stable and the formation of forming covalent bond decreases down the group due to the large size of elements.

Covalent and metallic bonding leads to higher melting points. Due to a decrease in attractive forces from carbon to lead there is a drop in melting point.

Carbon forms large covalent molecules than silicon and hence has a higher melting point than silicon.

Similarly, Ge also forms a large number of covalent bonds and has a smaller size as compared to that of Sn. Hence melting point decreases from Ge to Sn.

The order will be C>Si>Ge>Pb>Sn.

Answer:

λ = 4.59 ×10⁻³ nm

Explanation:

Given data:

Energy of light = 4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J

Wavelength of light = ?

h = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ js

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Solution:

Formula:

E = hc/λ

4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ Js×  3×10⁸ m/s / λ

λ =  6.626×10⁻³⁴ Js×  3×10⁸ m/s  / 4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J

λ =  19.878 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm  / 4.33 ×10⁻¹⁴ J

λ =  4.59 ×10⁻¹² m

λ = 4.59 ×10⁻³ nm

yaroslaw [1]
The solar system is made up of the sun and everything that orbits around it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids. It extends from the sun, called Sol by the ancient Romans, and goes past the four inner planets, through the Asteroid Belt to the four gas giants and on to the disk-shaped Kuiper Belt and far beyond to the teardrop-shaped heliopause. Scientists estimate that the edge of the solar system is about 9 billion miles (15 billion kilometers) from the sun. Beyond the heliopause lies the giant, spherical Oort Cloud, which is thought to surround the solar system.
