How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
RSB [31]3 years ago
6 0
A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These  particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.

Which of the following is true concerning ψ²? A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space. B) ψ² describes t
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A) ψ² describes the probability of finding an electron in space.

Explanation:

The Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger formulated an equation that describes the behavior and energies of submicroscopic particles in general.

The Schrödinger equation i<u>ncorporates both particle behavior</u>, in terms of <u>mass m</u>, and wave behavior, in terms of a <u><em>wave function ψ</em></u>, which depends on the location in space of the system (such as an electron in an atom).

The probability of finding the electron in a certain region in space is proportional to the square of the wave function, ψ². According to wave theory, the intensity of light is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave, or ψ². <u>The most likely place to find a photon is</u> where the intensity is greatest, that is, <u>where the value of ψ² is greatest</u>. A similar argument associates ψ² with the likelihood of finding an electron in regions surrounding the nucleus.

Consider two concentric spheres whose radii differ by t = 1 nm, the "thickness" of the interface. At what radius (in nm) of sphe
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Radius of the interior sphere = 3.847 nm

Explanation:

The volume of the shell (Vs) is equal to the difference of the volume of the outer sphere (Vo) and the volume of the inner sphere (Vi). Then:

V_s=V_o-V_i=V_i\\V_o=2*V_i\\

If we express the radius of the outer sphere (ro) in function of the radius of the inner sphere (ri), we have (e being the shell thickness):

r_o=r_i+e

The first equation becomes

\frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_o^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\\frac{4 \pi}{3}*(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 * \frac{4 \pi}{3}*r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i+e)^{3}  = 2 *r_i^{3}  \\\\(r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3})=2r_i^{3}\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}e+3r_ie^{2}+e^{3}=0\\\\-r_i^{3}+3r_i^{2}+3r_i+1=0

To find ri that satisfies this equation we have to find the roots of the polynomial.

Numerically, it could be calculated that ri=3.847 nm satisfies the equation.

So if the radius of the interior sphere is 3.847 nm, the volume of the interior sphere is equal to the volume of the shell of 1nm.

Over [174]

Answer:

3 mol Cl₂/2 mol AlCl₃ (three over two)

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the balanced equation"

2Al + 3Cl₂⟶ 2AlCl₃

The steps in the calculation are

mass of AlCl₃ ⟶ moles of AlCl₃⟶ moles of Cl₂ ⟶ mass of Cl₂

The critical step is the <em>conversion of moles</em>.

You multiply the moles of AlCl₃ by a <em>conversion factor</em> to get moles of Al:

Moles of AlCl₃ × conversion factor = moles of Al.

The conversion factor is <em>the molar ratio</em>, and it uses the coefficients of the formulas in the balanced equation.

It is either (2 mol AlCl₃/3 mol Cl₂) or (3 mol Cl₂/2 mol AlCl₃).

You choose the one that has the desired units of the answer in the numerator.

We choose the second option, because it has the correct units.

For example,

\text{0.2 mol AlCl}_{3} \times \frac{3\textbf{ mol Cl}_{2} }{ 2\text{ mol AlCl}_{3} } = 0.3\textbf{ mol Cl}_{2})

Notice how the units "mol AlCl₃" cancel and the correct units appear in the answer.

If we had used the other conversion factor, we would have gotten the wrong units.

The smallest unit that can exist as an element and still have the properties of that element is a(n): electron proton neutron at
Alex

Answer:

Atom

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest quantity of any given element.

An atom includes a nucleus (which includes protons and neutrons) around which are located the electrons.  That's that specific assembly of nucleus and surrounding electrons that form an atom and define which element it is.

So,

electron: negative charge in orbit of the nucleus

proton: positively-charged particle inside the atomic nucleus

neutron: neutral particle inside the atomic nucleus

atom: ensemble of the nucleus and electrons, defining a given element.
