<u>Answer:</u> The word for the definition of an electron in the highest occupied energy level of an atom is " valence electron".

<u>Explanation:</u>

A valence electron is an external shell electron associated with an atom in chemistry and physics that can participate in the creation of a chemical bond if the highest occupied energy level of an atom is not closed. All atoms in a single covalent bond add one valence electron to form a mutual pair.

The periodic table showcases the arrangement of valence electrons group and block wise like:

  • Alkali metals have <em>n </em><em>s</em> 1 as external shell configuration like H, Li, Na, K etc.
  • Alkaline metals have <em>n</em> s 2 as external hell configuration like Be, Mg, Ca etc.
  • p-block comprises group 13 to 18 having general electronic configuration <em>n </em><em>s</em> 2, <em>n</em><em> p</em><em> </em>1–6.
  • d-block or transition metals have general electronic configuration (<em>n</em>-1) d 1–10, <em>n </em>s 1–2.
  • f-block or inner transition metals have general electronic configuration (<em>n</em>-2) f^1–14 (<em>n</em>-1) d^0-1 <em>n </em>s^2.

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction  to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.
