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.

Which quantum number gives the approximate energy of an electron in the quantum mechanical model of the atom? A) n B) I C) m1 D
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Option A) n

Explanation:

In accordance to Quantum Mechanical model of an atom:

  • The Principle Quantum number (n) gives the description of the shell of an electron and the energy level of an electron in an atom.
  • The angular momentum also referred to as Azimuthal Quantum number (l) gives the description of  the shape of the orbitals and helps in determination of angular momentum magnitude.
  • The magnetic quantum number (m_{1}) describes the energy levels or the number of orbitals contained in a subshell and the way these are oriented within.
  • The spin quantum no. (m_{2}) determines the elelctron spin's direction which may be (-\frac{1}{2}) or (+\frac{1}{2}).

Which optical instrument, a telescope, a microscope, or a camera, forms images in a way most like your eye? Explain.
Xelga [282]

Camera is an optical instrument that forms images in a way most like human eyes.

Explanation:

The eye consists of a small spherical globe of about 2 cm in diameter, which is free to rotate under the control of 6 extrinsic muscles. Light enters the eye through the transparent cornea, passes through the aqueous humor, the lens, and the vitreous humor, where it finally forms an image on the retina.

In case of a digital camera, CCD is used known as charged coupled device. CCD is actually in the shape of array or a rectangular grid. It is like a matrix with each cell in the matrix contains a censor that senses the intensity of photon. When light falls on the object , the light reflects back after striking the object and allowed to enter inside the camera which is then stored by CCD in the form of electric signals.

Similarities between eye and a camera:

Cornea and Lens - The cornea is the “cap” of the eye. This transparent (like clear jelly) structure sits to the front of the eye. The lens of a camera is also transparent (glass) and sits at the front of the body.  Both allows light to enter and have spherical curvature.

Iris and aperture -The aperture is to the camera as the iris is to the eye. Both control the amount of light allowed to enter the eye or camera.

Retina and Film - The retina sits at the back of the eye and collects the light reflected from the surrounding environment to form the image. The same task in the camera is performed either by film or sensors in digital cameras.

Keywords: eye, camera, CCD, iris, film, aperture, cornea, lens, image formation
