Answer: a) $Frequency=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz$

b) $Wavelength=380nm-450nm$

Explanation: Visible light is a form of electromagnetic wave.

Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive crests of a wave. It is represented as symbol $\lambda$ .

Frequency is defined as the number of complete cycles happening per second. It is represented by the symbol $\nu$ .

Wavelength and Frequency follow inverse relation,

$\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where, c = speed of light = $3\times10^8m/s$

Wavelength and frequency of a wave is usually expressed in a range.

a) $\text{Frequency of visible light}=666\times10^{12}Hz-789\times10^{12}Hz$

b) $\text{Wavelength of visible light}=380nm-450nm$

an atom has an atomic number of 9 a mass number of 19 and an electron configuration of 2-6-1 explain why the number of electrons

sukhopar [10]

You can tell that the atom is in the excited state because:

- Electron configuration should follow the 2-8-8-2 rule, meaning that the inner shell should be filled before the next shell can start holding electrons.

- Instead of the atom's electron configuration being in the ground state at 2-8-8-1, electrons from the second shell have jumped to the third.

I’d say A. They are theoretical in the fact that they have not been observed directly, but have been confirmed to exist through experimentation.

Balance the following skeleton ionic reaction, and calculate E°cell to decide whether the reaction is spontaneous: Ag(s) + Cu2+

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V

The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.

Characteristics of an atom

Doss [256]

Answer:

It is composed of protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. Protons, neutrons, and the electrons surrounding them are long-lived particles present in all ordinary, naturally occurring atoms. Other subatomic particles may be found in association with these three types of particles.

Explanation:

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
