Answer:

2.33*10^-15 s

Explanation:

We need to estimate the period of oscillation of an electron that bounced up/down due to the effects of a passing packet of red light. The period of oscillation is the wavelength of the red light divided by the speed of the red light. We know that:

V = f*λ

where V = speed of the red light = 3*10^8 m/s

f = frequency = 1/T where T is the period of oscillation in seconds (s)

λ = the wavelength of the red light = 0.7*10^-6 m

Thus:

V = λ/T

T = λ/V = (0.7*10^-6)/(3*10^8) = 2.33*10^-15 s

How does an atom of one element differ from the atom of another element?
Temka [501]

Explanation:

The atoms of one element differs from the atoms of other elements in terms of the number of protons they contain. This is often taken as the atomic number of such an atom.

  • The number of proton is the best indicator of the atom one is dealing with.
  • Based on this number, elements are categorized into distinct columns and rows on the periodic table.
  • The atomic number is the number of protons or positively charge particles in the atom.

II.

It is possible to change the identity of an atom. This is only possible by altering the atomic number of the atom.

Only nuclear reactions have this capability.

When an atom undergoes nuclear reaction that involves change in number of protons, transmutation occurs and a new atom forms.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation  where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.
