The sodium atom loses an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+). Which statement is correct with respect to its atomic radius?

2 answers:

6 0

The atomic number of sodium is 11. Sodium is a metal and it has the electronic configuration: 2, 8,1. This configuration implies that, the electrons in an atom of sodium are distributed into three different shells and the outermost shell has one electron in it. If sodium decide to give away the electron on its outermost shell, it will have 10 electrons left and those electrons will be distributed in only the first two shells and then it will be described as an ion. The third shell will not exist again because the electron there has been given away. Thus, the sodium ion is going to have a smaller atomic radius because its size has been reduced. This implies that the sodium ion will have a smaller radius than the sodium atom.

Its atomic radius increases because there is less electron shielding after the sodium loses one e-. Sodium is a nonmetal which means it forms an anion. Anions always increase from their original atomic radius

A particular laser consumes 130.0 Watts of electrical power and produces a stream of 2.67×1019 1017 nm photons per second.

The missing question is:

<em>What is the percent efficiency of the laser in converting electrical power to light?</em>

The percent efficiency of the laser that consumes 130.0 Watt of electrical power and produces a stream of 2.67 × 10¹⁹ 1017 nm photons per second, is 1.34%.

A particular laser consumes 130.0 Watt (P) of electrical power. The energy input (Ei) in 1 second (t) is:

$Ei = P \times t = 130.0 J/s \times 1 s = 130.0 J$

The laser produced photons with a wavelength (λ) of 1017 nm. We can calculate the energy (E) of each photon using the Planck-Einstein's relation.

$E = \frac{h \times c }{\lambda }$

where,

h: Planck's constant

c: speed of light

$E = \frac{h \times c }{\lambda } = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s \times 3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s }{1017 \times 10^{-9} m }= 6.52 \times 10^{-20} J$

The energy of 1 photon is 6.52 × 10⁻²⁰ J. The energy of 2.67 × 10¹⁹ photons (Energy output = Eo) is:

$\frac{6.52 \times 10^{-20} J}{photon} \times 2.67 \times 10^{19} photon = 1.74 J$

The percent efficiency of the laser is the ratio of the energy output to the energy input, times 100.

$Ef = \frac{Eo}{Ei} \times 100\% = \frac{1.74J}{130.0J} \times 100\% = 1.34\%$

The percent efficiency of the laser that consumes 130.0 Watt of electrical power and produces a stream of 2.67 × 10¹⁹ 1017 nm photons per second, is 1.34%.

How does the force of gravity on Jupiter compare to the force of gravity on Earth?

iogann1982 [59]

Jupiter has greater gravitational pull than earth, about 2.4 time greater than that of earth. This means that a person weighing 100 pound on earth will weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is so large that all other planets would comfortably fit inside it. It is over 1000 times bigger than the earth.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and rotates faster than any other planet. A day in Jupiter is about 10 hours long.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The false statement is :

Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.
Cobalt is not used in medicine.

Explanation:

Pyrite is an ore of iron sulfide found on the Earth and in coal, limestone and in many deposits of metallic ores. Due to its luster and pale yellowish color it appears as gold due to which it is also termed as Fool's gold.

It is used in firearms , in production of sulfur dioxide gas, etc.

Cobalt is used as medicine to treat cancer patient. Co-60 is used in treatment of cancer in which gamma rays produced by Co-60 are used to kill tumor cells in a cancer patient.
