Which one of the following statements BEST explains what is meant by the “dual nature” of the electron? A : An electron may be e

ither in a quasi-free state as in a metal or in a tightly-bound state deep within an atom. B : An electron plays a role in the production of both magnetic and electric fields. C : An electron can be transmitted in a beam as in a television or through a wire. D : An electron may act with either particle-like or wave-like characteristics. E : An electron can travel at very small velocities or be at rest. It’s motion adequately described by Newton’s laws of motion. The electron can also travel at speeds close to the speed of light; and its motion is described by relativistic laws of motion.

Answer:

D : An electron may act with either particle-like or wave-like characteristics.  

Explanation:

This is the whole basis of the Schrödinger equation.

The other options are correct, but they do not state the dual nature of the electron.

According to the electron sea theory, what happens when a collection of metal atoms are in close proximity to each other?
lys-0071 [83]
The correct answer is A. All electrons become free and separate from the nuclei. In metallic bonds, the electrons of the metal atoms are delocalized. The electron in the electron sea can freely roam around or are free to flow.

What type of chemical bond would form between an atom of lithium (Li) and an atom of chlorine (Cl). Explain specifically why thi
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

  • When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.

For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.

Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).

An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.  

  • On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.

For example, O_{2} is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

How many moles are in 24.75 g of H2O? What is given the conversation and the unknown?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.373 mol H₂O

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

24.75 g H₂O

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂O - 2(1.01) + 16.00 = 18.02 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />24.75 \ g \ H_2O(\frac{1 \ mol \ H_2O}{18.02 \ g \ H_2O} ) = 1.37347 mol H₂O

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

1.37347 mol H₂O ≈ 1.373 mol H₂O

Cuando se quema 1 mol de metano –o sea, 16 g–, se desprenden 802
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1 gramo de metano aporta 50.125 kilojoules.

1 gramo de metano aporta 48.246 kilojoules.

Explanation:

La cantidad de energía liberada por la combustión de una unidad de masa del hidrocarburo (Q), en kilojoules por mol, es igual a la cantidad de energía liberada por mol de compuesto (\bar {Q}), en kilojoules por mol, dividido por su masa molar (M), en gramos por mol:

Q = \frac{\bar Q}{M} (1)

A continuación, analizamos cada caso:

Metano

Q = \frac{802\,\frac{kJ}{mol} }{16\,\frac{g}{mol} }

Q = 50.125\,\frac{kJ}{g}

1 gramo de metano aporta 50.125 kilojoules.

Octano

Q = \frac{5500\,\frac{kJ}{mol} }{114\,\frac{g}{mol} }

Q = 48.246\,\frac{kJ}{mol}

1 gramo de metano aporta 48.246 kilojoules.
