Reaction of sodium with water

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).

2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Which of the following could happen when infrared radiation is absorbed by a molecule ?
Leto [7]

Answer:

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

Explanation:

Infrared Radiation:

IR is electromagnetic radiations. The wavelength i.e. 700nm to 1000 mm of infrared is longer than invisible light and Its frequency is lower than light, that's why it is invisible to light.

  • When IR radiation strike the molecule it absorbed by this molecule.
  • This radiation used to identify and study chemicals.
  • Infrared radiation interact with intra-bonds of the molecule.
  • Bonds in the molecules have vibrational translational and rotational movements
  • Due to these vibration, rotation and translation movement it absorb a radiation of specific frequency and wavelength
  • These movements of bond are very small and absorbs radiations of very low frequency
  • So when Infrared light or radiation absorbed the intra-bonds of the molecule get affected and angles of these bonds changes.
  • As the frequency of the absorbed radiation matches the frequency of the bond that vibrates.

So

The correct option is option E

       E) Intramolecular bond angles change

* Note:

it couldn't be option A as the frequency of IR is not enough to rotate a whole molecule

It Couldn't be option B as IR rations are electromagnetic radiation of longer wave length so it one can not see it with light so how it will glow a molecule

It also not could be the option C as for the excitation of electrons require much higher energy.

It also not the option D as nuclear magnetic spin is associated with nuclear magnetic radiation that are much different from IR.
