Why must contact lenses be removed before you enter a chemistry laboratory?

Chemistry
1 answer:
RUDIKE [14]4 years ago
6 0
The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)

Explain why an atom has a neutral charge​
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Atoms are neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

In the process of ionization, what is the relationship between the second ionization energy (I2) and the third ionization energy
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>The first ionization energy is the energy that is obligatory in order to eliminate the first electron from an atom(neutral) in the GAS phase
, the second ionization energy is defined as  the energy required to remove the second electron from an atom(+1 ion) in the GAS phase.
</span>the third ionization energy is the energy it takes to remove an electron from a 2+ ion. (That means that the atom has already lost two electrons, you are now removing the third.) 
<span> Ionization energy will normally increase for every electron that is removed and increases from left to right in the periodic table and moving up the periods
hope it helps</span>
