Melting is a physical change in matter, so it doesn’t change the chemical makeup or chemical properties of matter.

What is the radius of a hydrogen atom whose electron is bound by 0.544 ev? express your answer with the appropriate units?

insens350 [35]

First, we need to calculate the principal quantum number n for this electron, using the equation:
E = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
where E is the energy that is used to bound the electron (here, E = - 0.544 eV).
- 0.544 eV = (-13.60 eV) / (n x n)
n x n = (- 13.60 eV) / (- 0.544 eV)
n x n = 25
n = 5

The orbital radius that is equal to the radius of a hydrogen atom is calculated using the equation:
r = 0.053 nm x n x n
r = 0.053 nm x 5 x 5
r = 0.053 nm x 25
r = 1.325 nm

Translation: Explain the importance of energy levels,

tigry1 [53]

Answer: Formation of a stable Duplet or Octet structure

Explanation:

Energy levels refers to the definite amount of energies that electrons can have when occupying specific orbitals.

Examples are:

Level 1 as in 1s

Level 2 as in 2s, 2p

Level 3 as in 3s 3p 3d

Level 4 as in 4s 4p 4d 4f

Level 5 as in 5s .......

Level 6 as in 6s .........

Electrons can be excited to higher energy levels by absorbing energy from the surroundings during chemical reactions and so forming chemical bonds like ionic, covalent etc.

A perfect example is Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) in Sodium chloride (NaCl)

Sodium has atomic number of 11, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine has atomic number of 17, so energy level is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5

You will notice that the both Na and Cl, has electrons in the energy level 3. Then, the bond formed must be one that lead to the formation of a OCTET structure: as in Na gives off its 3s1 electron TO Cl.

Thus, Cl now becomes 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6 - an OCTET STRUCTURE (with completely filled outershell and full energy level 3) in NACl.

So, a duplet or Octet structure is the answer

Which is an example of ionization?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer: SO₂ + H₂O → HSO₃ ⁻ + H⁺

Justification:

1) Ionization means formation of ions.

2) Ions are species that are not neutral, they are charged, in virtue of having less or more electrons than protons.

3) Ionization may happen in different environments.

4) Ionic compunds, like Mg(OH)₂ dissociate into ions (ionize) in water. That is the example shown in the fourth option:

Mg(OH)₂ → Mg ²⁺ + 2OH⁻

5) How much a ionic compound dissociates in water (ionize) depends on the Ksp (product solubility constant) which measures the concentrations of the ions that can be in the solution.

6) The Ksp for Mg(OH)₂ is very low, meaning that it will slightly ionize.

7) SO₂ + H₂O forms H₂SO₄, which is a strong acid, meaning that it will ionize fully in water, into the ions HSO₃ ⁻ and H⁺, so the third option is a good example of ionization.

Which will most likely result if there is increased upwelling in a coastal area

erastovalidia [21]

Increased upwelling in a coastal area results to more aquatic life. Upwelling is the process in which deep, cold water rises towards the surface. It is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind driven motion of the dense, cooler and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface replacing the warmer usually nutrient depleted surface water.
