The sun is not always shining. You have shadows cast by buildings, people, and other objects. Not to mention that throughout a large portion of time it would be night.

Which two trends increase when one moves across a period from left to right?
Sophie [7]

Answer is: a) ionization energy and electronegativity.

1) The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).  

Barium, potassium and arsenic are metals (easily lost valence electrons), chlorine is nonmetal (easily gain electrons).

Alkaline metals (far left in Periodic table) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (one electron), earth alkaline metals (next right to alkaline metals) have higher ionization energy than alkaline metals, because they have two valence electrons.  

Nonmetals are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.  

2) Electronegativity (χ) is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.  

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.  

Nonmetals hava higher electronegativity than metals and metalloids.

3) The atomic radius decreases across the periods because an increasing number of protons, because greater attraction between the protons and electrons.

Given the molar absorptivity for a species X of 1600 M-1cm-1 at a wavelength of 270 nm, and 400 M-1cm-1 at a wavelength of 540 n
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

At wavelength = 270 nm

\varepsilon x_1 = 1600 \ m^{-1} \ cm^{-1}  \\ \\  \varepsilon y_1 = 200 \ m^{-1} \ cm^{-1}

At 270 nm

Suppose x is said to be the solution for the concentration of x and y to be the solution for the concentration of y;

Then:

\varepsilon x_1  \ l + \varepsilon y_1  \ l= 0.5 \\ \\ A = A_1 + A_2

1600 xl + 200 yl= 0.5

Divide both sides by 200

8xl + yl = \dfrac{0.5}{200}

8x + y = \dfrac{0.5}{200}l

Use l = 1cm (i.e the standard length)

Then;

8x + y = \dfrac{0.5}{200} ---- (1)

<u>For 540 nm:</u>

\varepsilon x_2 x  \ l + \varepsilon y_2 y  \ l= 0.5  \\ \\ 40 xl + 800 yl = 0.5

x + 20 y = \dfrac{0.5}{400 \ l}

since l = 1

x + 20 y = \dfrac{0.5}{400 \ } --- (2)

Equating both (1) and (2) together, we have:

8x + y - 8x - 160 y = \dfrac{0.5}{200} - \dfrac{0.5 \times 8}{400}  \\ \\  \implies - 159 y = \dfrac{0.5}{200} ( 1 - \dfrac{8}{2}) \\ \\  -159 y = \dfrac{-0.5 \times 3}{200}  \\ \\  159 \ y = 0.0075  \\ \\  y = \dfrac{0.0075}{159} \\ \\  y = 0.00004716 \\ \\ y = 4.7 \times 10^{-5 } \ M
