For reaction a, the mole number of gas increase from 2 to 4. So the entropy will increase, ΔS>0. For b, the gas will change to solid, so the entropy decrease, ΔS<0.
Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.
Answer:
A hydrogen molecule forms from two hydrogen atoms, each with one electron in a 1 s orbital. The two hydrogen atoms are attracted to the same pair of electrons in the covalent bond. The bond is represented either as a pair of “dots” or as a solid line. Each hydrogen atom acquires a helium-like electron configuration. Shared electrons located in the space between the two nuclei are called bonding electrons. The bonded pair is the “glue” that holds the atoms together in molecular units. The hydrogen molecule is the simplest substance having a covalent bond.
Explanation:
E = hf
c = speed of electromagnetic wave, c ≈ 3 * 10⁸ m/s,
Planck's constant h = 6.63 *10⁻³⁴ Js
h = Planck's constnat, Frquency, f = c/λ = (3*10⁸)/(488*10⁻⁹)
E = hf
E = hc/λ
E = (6.63 * 10⁻³⁴ * 3 * 10⁸) /(488 * 10⁻⁹)
Energy, E ≈ 4.0758 * 10⁻¹⁹ Joules.
