Why is Oxygen classified as an element?

Chemistry

UNO [17]3 years ago
7 0


It can be oxygen in only 1 atom. All elements on the periodic table can stand alone in one atom.

(I took a lucky guess, using some of my knowledge about elements )

OXYGEN is an element because
1. it can not be broken
2.it is on the periodic table

Can someone please help me with this it's for a grade.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The Answer is 'D'

Explanation:

The diagram on the down side shows the behavior of the particles of a liquid so I suppose it is the ocean. While the top diagram shows the behavior of the particles of a gas so I am sure it's the air. Therefore I chose the last diagram because it describes exactly how you wanted in the question, which is the Ocean's water evaporating to become gas or the 'air' as we say

Describe a chemical formula give an example
Vlad1618 [11]

A chemical formula identifies each constituent element by its chemical symbol and indicates the proportionate number of atoms of each element.

<em>For example, the empirical formula of ethanol may be written C2H6O because the molecules of ethanol all contain two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom.</em>

Which subatomic particle gives off visible light when it drops back down to a lower energy state?
icang [17]

Answer:

Option C = electron

Explanation:

Electrons are responsible for the production of colored light.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e-

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

How electrons produce the colored light:

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Other process may involve,

Fluorescence:

In fluorescence the energy is absorbed by the electron having shorter wavelength and high energy usually of U.V region. The process of absorbing the light occur in a very short period of time i.e. 10 ∧-15 sec. During the fluorescence the spin of electron not changed.

The electron is then de-excited by emitting the light in visible and IR region. This process of de-excitation occur in a time period of 10∧-9 sec.

Phosphorescence:

In phosphorescence the electron also goes to the excitation to the higher level by absorbing the U.V radiations. In case of Phosphorescence the transition back to the lower energy level occur very slowly and the spin pf electron also change.
