Electron affinity is the measure of the attraction of an electron toward an isolated gaseous atom. When an electron is added to

an isolated gaseous atom or ion energy is either released or absorbed; this energy change is known as electron affinity. Electron affinity is positive when energy is absorbed, and it is negative when energy is released.True / False.

False

Explanation:

Electron affinity is negative when energy is absorbed and it is positive when energy is released.

Electron affinity is defined as the energy released in adding an electron to a neutral atom in the gas phase.

It is a measure of the readiness of an atom to gain an electron.

In a reaction where energy is released, electron affinity is usually positive. These reactions are called exothermic reactions.

Endothermic reactions in which energy is absorbed have negative electron affinity values.

Should the line of best- fit travel through the origin of the graph ? Explain your reasoning
Finger [1]
 <span>I would say only if one of your data points is the origin. But your experiment could have started with a non-zero velocity, for instance, which would rule out the origin as one of your data points. Even so, a "best fit" is not meant to be perfect, it is only meant to be the best that you can do with your particular data set.</span>

The minimum energy required to break the oxygen-oxygen bond in oxygen is 495 kJ/mol. What is the longest wavelength of radiation
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

241 nm, it is UV light range

Explanation:

The minimum energy needed required to break the oxygen-oxygen bond = 495 kJ/mol

Energy needed for 1 molecule of oxygen = 495 × 10³ J / avogadro's constant = 495 × 10³ J  / ( 6.02 × 10²³) = 8.223 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy = hv

where h = Planck constant = 6.626 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m²kg/s and v = frequency

c speed of light = vλ

c / λ = v

E = hc / λ

λ  = hc / E = (6.626 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m²kg/s × 3.0 × 10 ⁸ m/s) / (8.223 × 10⁻¹⁹ J)  = 2.41 × 10⁻⁷m = 241 nm

UV light wavelength is between 400 nm - 10 nm
