I know this isn't much help, but I have a few elements I think it might be:

1) Al

2) Fe

3) I

4) K

Ionic bond is formed due to the transfer of electrons from one atom to another so that all atoms involved in the bond would become stable (with 8 electrons in the outermost level)

Now, for bromine, it has 35 electrons. This means that bromine has 7 valence electrons in the outermost level. Therefore, bromine needs to gain one electron in order to become stable.

Bromine can react with elements from:
group 1: each element in group 1 needs to lose one electron to become stable. Therefore, one bromine atom can form an ionic bond when combined with an atom of an element from group 1 (element in group 1 loses its electron for bromine atom).
group 2: each element in group 2 needs to lose two electrons to become stable. Therefore, two bromine atoms can form ionic bonds when combined with an atom of an element from group 2 (element in group 2 loses two electrons, one for each bromine atom).
group 3: each element in group 3 needs to lose three electrons to become stable. Therefore, three bromine atoms can form ionic bonds when combined with an atom of an element from group 1 (element in group 3 loses three electrons, one for each bromine atom).

Since no choices are given , I cannot tell the exact choice. But the correct one would be the element from either group 1 , 2 or 3.

The hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has an internuclear separation of 127 pm (picometers). Assume the atomic isotopes that make

natta225 [31]

Answer:

the energy of the third excited rotational state $\mathbf{E_3 = 16.041 \ meV}$

Explanation:

Given that :

hydrogen chloride (HCl) molecule has an intermolecular separation of 127 pm

Assume the atomic isotopes that make up the molecule are hydrogen-1 (protium) and chlorine-35.

Thus; the reduced mass μ = $\dfrac{m_1 \times m_2}{m_1 + m_2}$

μ = $\dfrac{1 \times 35}{1 + 35}$

μ = $\dfrac{35}{36}$

∵ 1 μ = 1.66 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

μ = $\\ \\ \dfrac{35}{36} \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \ \ kg$

μ = 1.6139 × 10⁻²⁷ kg

$r_o = 127 \ pm = 127*10^{-12} \ m$

The rotational level Energy can be expressed by the equation:

$E_J = \dfrac{h^2}{8 \pi^2 I } \times J ( J +1)$

where ;

J = 3 ( i.e third excited state) &

$I = \mu r^2_o$

$E_J= \dfrac{h^2}{8 \pi \mu r^ 2 \mur_o } \times J ( J +1)$

$E_3 = \dfrac{(6.63 \times 10^{-34})^2}{8 \times \pi ^2 \times 1.6139 \times 10^{-27} \times( 127 \times 10^{-12}) ^ 2 } \times 3 ( 3 +1)$

$E_3= 2.5665 \times 10^{-21} \ J$

We know that :

1 J = $\dfrac{1}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}eV$

$E_3= \dfrac{2.5665 \times 10^{-21} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}eV$

$E_3 = 16.041 \times 10 ^{-3} \ eV$

$\mathbf{E_3 = 16.041 \ meV}$

stepan [7]

Burning Mg in the air and reacting with O2 forming a white powder of MnO

So the equation is going to be:
Mn + O2 ⇒ MnO (this equation is not conserved)

to make it equilibrium:
1- First we should put 2Mno to equal the O2 on both sides.
So it will be:
Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO
2- Second we should put 2Mn to equal the Mn on both sides.
2Mg + O2⇒ 2MgO (this equation is conserved)
After putting the physical states the final equilibrium equation is going to be:
Δ
2Mg(s) + O2(g)⇒ 2MgO(s)

A change in state is a physical change.<br><br>True or false

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: Depending on the state of change it can be a physical change. Example: Evaporation is the physical change of a liquid turned into a gas.

That said, I'm pretty sure the answer is (True)

Note: Hope this is correct and it helps. Good luck :)
