Answer is: scientists use different types of model to show different characteristics (chemical properties) of compound.

For example, ball and stick model gives informations about bond lenght and space filling model gives information about space occupied by atoms.

In chemistry, the ball-and-stick model is a molecular model of a chemical substance which is to display both the three-dimensional position of the atoms and the bonds between them. The atoms are represented by spheres, connected by rods which represent the bonds. Every ball represent one atom in one molecule and they have different colors for different atoms (for example, carbon is black, hydrogen is white, nitrogen is blue).

There also other models: skeletal models, polyhedral models, composite models, computer-based models.

VLD [36.1K]

The answer would be 118.68 g.
Explanation for this is:4 moles of NH3 give 4 moles of NO2
so 1mole of NH3 will give 1 mole of NO2
43.9 grams of NH3 contains 2.58 moles
so 2.58 moles will be produced of NO2
which is 118.7 grams this the amount of oxygen that is used.

Answer:

The frequency is $f = 2,01 * 10^{15} \ Hz$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The energy required to ionize boron is $E_b = 801 KJ/mol$

Generally the ionization energy of boron pre atom is mathematically represented as

$E_a = \frac{E_b}{N_A}$

Here $N_A$ is the Avogadro's constant with value $N_A = 6.022*10^{23}$

$E_a = \frac{801}{6.022*10^{23}}$

=> $E_a = 1.330 *10^{-18} \ J/atom$

Generally the energy required to liberate one electron from an atom is equivalent to the ionization energy per atom and this mathematically represented as

$E = hf = E_a$
