For electrons to be emitted from a metal surface, incident radiation with an energy in excess of the work function must be used.

What happens to the excess energy of the incident radiation?

Tamiku [17]3 years ago

Answer: The excess energy is converted into kinetic energy for the motion of the ejected electrons.

Explanation: It requires a certain energy to eject an electron from a metal surface. This energy is known as the work function (W), which varies from metal to metal. Electrons can gain energy by interacting with photons. If a photon has an energy at least as big as the work function, the photon energy can be transferred to the electron and the electron will have enough energy to escape from the metal. A photon with an energy less than the work function will never be able to eject electrons.

So, a particular amount of energy is used to break the barrier and match the work function of the metal surface & the remaining energy is converted into kinetic energy for the motion of the ejected electrons.

What is the difference between reactants and products in a chemical equation (Explain)? In the equation “carbon plus oxygen make
Mnenie [13.5K]

Explanation:

Reactants can be referred to as starting materials for a chemical reaction. They undergo a change to form products. Reactants are usuallyconsumed in the reaction process.

Reactants are written at the left side before the arrow sign in a reaction.

Products are the ending materials of a reaction. They are what is left after the reactants has been consumed.

Prpducts are written on the right side after the arrow sign in a reaction

Basically, a reaction is given as;

Reactants --> Products

A + B --> C + D

A and B are reactants and C and D are products

In the reaction;

“carbon plus oxygen makes carbon dioxide”

C + O2 --> CO2

The reactants are; C and O2.

The product is CO2

Show the calculation of the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 12.6 grams of NaNO3 to make 200 ml of solution.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: The molarity of a solution made by dissolving 12.6 grams of NaNO3 to make 200 ml of solution is 0.74 M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved perliter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n= moles of solute  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 1000 ml

moles of solute =\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{12.6g}{85g/mol}=0.148moles

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{0.148moles\times 1000}{200ml}=0.74mole/L

Thus the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 12.6 grams of NaNO3 to make 200 ml of solution is 0.74 M

Identify the isotope that has atoms with 3 neutrons, 3 protons, and 3 electrons. 1. 3be 2. none of these 3. 6c 4. 6li 5. 3he 6.
wlad13 [49]

Answer: -

Thus the isotope that has atoms with 3 neutrons, 3 protons, and 3 electrons

4) ⁶Li

Explanation: -

Number of neutrons = 3

Number of protons = 3

Mass number = number of neutrons + number of protons

= 3 + 3 = 6

Atomic number = number of protons = 3

Element with atomic number 3 = Lithium Li

Thus the isotope that has atoms with 3 neutrons, 3 protons, and 3 electrons

= ⁶Li
