The equation for photon energy, E, is E=hcλ where h = 6.626×10−34 J⋅s (Planck's constant) and c = 2.99×108 m/s (the speed of lig

ht). What is the wavelength, λ, of a photon that has an energy of E = 4.61×10−19 J ?

Answer:

9.133×10^-6 m

Explanation:

A photon is the smallest discrete amount or quantum of electromagnetic radiation. It is the basic unit of all light. Photons are always in motion and, in a vacuum, travel at a constant speed to all observers of 3 x 10^8 m/s.

From the question, the following details were supplied;

Energy of the photon (E) = 4.61×10^−19 J

Speed of light (c) = 2.99×10^8 m/s

Plank's constant (h) = 6.626×10^−34 J⋅s

Wavelength of the photon (λ)= ??? The unknown

From

E=hc/λ

λ= hc/E

Substituting values

λ= 6.626×10^−34 × 2.99×10^8/ 4.61×10^−19

λ= 91.33×10^-7 m

λ= 9.133×10^-6 m

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and CaCl_{2}</h2>

Explanation:

     PART 1:

  • Atomic number of sodium is 11.
  • Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become Na^{1+} which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
  • The symbol for the sodium ion is Na^{+}.
  • Chlorine atom (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be  isoelectronic to neon.
  • The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
  • PART 2:
  • Atomic number of calcium is 20
  • Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become Ca^{2+}which is isoelectronic to argon.
  • The symbol for the ion is Ca^{2+}.
  • Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
  • The symbol for the compound formed is CaCl_{2}.

How would you figure the number of protons or electrons in an atom
TiliK225 [7]
The number of protons in an atom can be determined by the element's atomic number, and the number of electrons can be determined by subtracting by atomic mass by the atomic number.

Talja [164]
Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Although renewable energy sources, like wind and solar power, are important resources for a country’s energy mix, only nuclear power is capable of producing large amounts of electricity 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

For safety precaution which regards to employees, several federal agencies—the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. departments of Energy and Transportation—establish radiation protection regulations for U.S. nuclear plants based on internationally recognized scientific studies.

For the safety precaution of power plants itself, The NRC monitors plant performance according to three strategic areas: reactor safety, radiation safety and security.

How many electrons are shared by a triple <br> bond?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

6 electrons

Every covalent bond is a sharing of two electrons between two atoms. A double bond is 4 electrons being shared (2x2). Therefore a triple bond is 6 electrons being shared (2x3). Hope this helps!
