The electronegativity of an atom describes how much an atom attracts an electron, whether it be in a covalent bond or just on its own.

What is the surface composition of planets in the solar system?
Stels [109]

Answer:

A: Helium or Hydrogen

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets are the 4 inner most planets of the solar system which are mercury, venus, earth, Mars, while the giant planets are the 4 outer most which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Now, these outer most ones are the surface ones and are surrounded primarily by layers of hydrogen and helium gases.

A laser used to read CDs emits red light of wavelength 700 nm. How many photons does it emit each second if its power is?(a) 0.1
Elenna [48]

power = work/time

watt = joule/sec

a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec

work = power * time

= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules

work is northing but energy

therefore energy is 0.1joules

according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency

hence, n = E/hν

or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)

n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons

b) similar to the above calculation

here E = 1.0joules

n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons

Argon, which comprises almost 1% of the atmosphere, is approximately 27 times more abundant than CO 2, but does not contribute t
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The gas argon does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Explanation:

The dry atmosphere is composed almost entirely of nitrogen (in a volumetric mixing ratio of 78.1%) and oxygen (20.9%), plus a series of oligogases such as argon (0.93%), helium and gases of greenhouse effect such as carbon dioxide (0.035%) and ozone. In addition, the atmosphere contains water vapor in very variable amounts (about 1%) and aerosols.

Greenhouse gases or greenhouse gases are the gaseous components of the atmosphere, both natural and anthropogenic, that absorb and emit radiation at certain wavelengths of the infrared radiation spectrum emitted by the Earth's surface, the atmosphere and clouds . In the Earth's atmosphere, the main greenhouse gases (GHG) are water vapor (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and ozone (O3 ). There is also in the atmosphere a series of greenhouse gases (GHG) created entirely by humans, such as halocarbons (compounds containing chlorine, bromine or fluorine and carbon, these compounds can act as potent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and they are also one of the causes of the depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere) regulated by the Montreal Protocol. In addition to CO2, N2O and CH4, the Kyoto Protocol sets standards regarding sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and perfluorocarbons (PFCs).

The difference between argon and greenhouse gases such as CO2 is that the individual atoms in the argon do not have free bonds and therefore do not vibrate. As a consequence, it does not reach a state of vibrational excitation when infrared radiation strikes this gas.

Select the correct Answers.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize.

Explanation:

  • As two objects at different temperatures are placed in contact, heat is transferred from the warmer to the cooler object until the temperature of the two objects be the same.
  • The amount of heat that is transferred from the warmer object is equal to the amount of heat that is transferred into the cooler object.
  • This is in agreement with the law of conservation of energy.
  • <em>So, the right choice is: 3. The temperatures of the two substances equalize. </em>

Students conduct an experiment:
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The balloon becomes inflated

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar(ethanoic acid) is shown below;

NaHCO3 + HC2CH3O2 ------> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

The gas (CO2) evolved in the process leads to the inflation of the balloon dropped on the bottle in which the reaction is taking pace.

This observation provides evidence that a gas was really evolved in the reaction.
