It takes more energy to remove the second electron from a lithium atom than it does to remove the fourth electron from a carbon atom because its inner core e, not valence e. C's 4th removed e is still a valence e. And also <span>because more nuclear charge acting on the second electron, it is more close to the nucleus, thus the the protons attract it more than the 4th electron.</span>

The energy required to remove second electron from lithium is more as compared to removing fourth electron from carbon

EXPLANATION:

The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom is called as ionization energy of the electron.

The second ionization energy of lithium atom is more as compared to fourth ionization energy of carbon atom. It is so because the second electron which is to be emitted from the K-shell of lithium atom, is tightly bound by the nucleus as the orbit is very closer to the nucleus.

In case of carbon, the fourth electron is present in the valence shell.The radius of valence shell is not so close as compared to lithium.The screening effect is also more for carbon as compared to lithium.

Hence, the energy required to remove a second electron from lithium is more that the energy required to remove fourth electron from carbon.

What is diffraction?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

Determine the index of refraction of glass that is struck by unpolarized light at 53.8 degrees and resulting in a fully polarize
nignag [31]

Answer:

The refractive index of glass, \mu_{g} = 1.367

Solution:

Brewster angle is the special case of incident angle that causes the reflected and refracted rays to be perpendicular to each other or that angle of incident which causes the complete polarization of the reflected ray.

To determine the refractive index of glass:

tan\theta_{P} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{\mu_{a}}                 (1)

where

\mu_{a} = refractive index of glass

\mu_{g} = refractive index of glass

Now, using eqn (1)

tan{53.8^{\circ}} = \frac{\mu_{g}}{1}

\mu_{g} = tan53.8^{\circ}

\mu_{g} = 1.367
