Describe light with respect to its speed and its dual nature as both a wave and a particle.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Scientists have been debating over light being a wave or particle since its recognition.

Sir Issac Newton discovered that light had frequency and other properties. Newton described light to be a particle because it created shadows which were sharp and very clear.

Francesco Maria Grimaldi, claimed that light was a wave. This was because this scientist observed the diffraction of light and hence, claimed light to be a type of wave.

The speed of light is 299 792 458 m / s. Nothing can travel faster than light.

Explain why the 4s sublevel fills before the 3d begins to fill as electrons are added.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: The energy of the 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell.

Explanation:

During the filling of electrons in subshells, the lower energy levels are filled before the higher energy levels. Also known as Aufbau principle.

Energy of the sublevel = (n + l)

where : n = Principal quantum number

             l = Azimuthal quantum number(s=0,p=1,d=2,f=3)

Energy of 4-s subshell= (4+0) = 4

Energy of 3-d subshell=(3+2) = 5

Energy of 4-s subshell is lower than the energy of 3-d subshell, that is why 4s orbital is filled before the 3-d subshell.

For carbon monoxide poisoning, the treatment is administration of oxygen at high pressure. This increases the amount of oxyhemog
Mama L [17]
Adding oxygen will cause the equation of 
CO-Hemogoblin + O2= Hemogoblin = Oxyhemogoblin

to the right. This is because the increase in pressure leads to more on the left side, and as such a balance needs to be maintained so the equation shifts to the right.

Write a chemical equation for NH4+(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition. Express your a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

NH4+(aq)  → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

Explanation:

Following arrhenius, an acid can be defined as:

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of H+ ions in water.

NH4+(aq)  → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

The ammonium ion acts as a weak acid in aqueous solution, dissociating into ammonia and a hydrogen ion.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of OH- ions in water.

NH4+(aq) will not dissciate in OH- ions. So it's not a base, but an acid.
