The correct description for an atom of helium would be option C. An atom of helium has its valence electrons in its first energy level, it wouldn't and can't satisfy the Octet rule as it only has 2 electrons, but with 2, it has a full shell, as the first energy level can hold only 2 electrons.

During the process of _____, gas loses heat and changes into a liquid.
Fantom [35]
<span>Condensation takes place when gas molecules lose heat and kinetic energy. The warmer molecules are the faster they move. Gas molecules move very quickly and have a lot of kinetic energy and heat energy. As the gas molecules lose heat they also lose kinetic energy. As the molecules slow down they move closer together to form liquids.</span>

Balance the equation for this reaction in an acidic solution MnO-4 to NO-3+Mn+2
marin [14]

Answer

MnO₄ + 2H⁺ +3NO₂⁻ →3NO₃⁻ + Mn²⁺ +H₂O

Explanation

This is a redox reaction (oxidation-reduction reaction) which involves the transfer of electrons between two species. i.e

Mn + 6e⁻→Mn²⁺ (reduction)

3N³⁺- 6e⁻→3Mn⁵⁺(oxidation)

A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of m = 1.80 fg (where a femtogram
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Δx ≥  1.22 *10^-10m

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

The E. coli bacterial cell has a mass of 1.80 fg ( = 1.80 * 10^-15 grams = 1.80 * 10^-18 kg)

Velocity of v = 8.00 μm/s (= 8.00 * 10^-6 m/s)

Uncertainty in the velocity = 3.00 %

E. coli bacterial cells are around 1 μm = 10^−6 m in length

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate uncertainty in velocity

Δv = 0.03 * 8*10^-6 m/s =2.4 * 10^-7 m/s

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate the uncertainty of the position of the bacterium

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle,

Δx *Δp ≥ h/4π

Δx *mΔv ≥ h/4π

with Δx = TO BE DETERMINED

with m = 1.8 *10^-18 kg

with Δv = 2.4*10^-7

with h = constant of planck = 6.626 *10^-34

Δx ≥  6.626*10^-34 / (4π*(1.8*10^-18)(2.4*10^-7))

Δx ≥  1.22 *10^-10m
