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.

Even though lead is toxic, lead compounds were used in ancient times as white pigments in cosmetics. What is the percentage of l
Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical formula of lead (IV) carbonate is Pb(CO_3)_2

To calculate the mass percentage of lead in lead (IV) carbonate, we use the equation:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{\text{Mass of lead}}{\text{Mass of lead (IV) carbonate}}\times 100

Mass of lead = (1 × 207.2) = 207.2 g

Mass of lead (IV) carbonate = [(1 × 207.2) + (2 × 12) + (6 × 16)] = 327.2 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of lead}=\frac{207.2g}{327.2g}\times 0100=63.32\%

Hence, the mass percent of lead in lead (IV) carbonate is 63.32 %
