Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

How much energy is required to heat 40g of water from -7 degrees Celsius to 108 degrees Celsius (Lf= 335,000J/Kg for ice)
solniwko [45]
The   energy  required  to heat  40g  of water  from -7 c  to 108 c is
1541000  joules

     calculation

Q(heat)=  M( mass)  x c(specific heat capacity) xdelta t( change in temperature)

M=  40g=  40/1000= 0.04 Kg
C=  335,000 j/kg/c
delta T   (    108 --7= 115  c)

Q  is therefore   =  0.04 g x  335000 j/kg/c  x 115 c  = 1541,000  joules

What does the 4 indicate in 1s22s22p4? 4th subshell 4 electrons 4th energy level
kupik [55]

Answer: The number 4 indicates 4 electrons.

Explanation: We are given an electronic configuration, which is:

1s^22s^22p^4

Here,

  • The letters denote the sub-shells of an element.
  • The numbers written before the letters which are 1, 2 and 2 represents the Principle Quantum Number and these represents the energy level of the sub-shells.
  • The number which are written in the superscripts which are 2, 2 and 4 denotes the electrons which are present in the sub-shell.

Hence, 4 indicates 4 electrons present in 2p sub-shell.

Answer:

Failure is a lesson

Explanation:

Without failure, we'd be less capable of compassion, empathy, kindness, and great achievement. It's through failure that we learn the greatest lessons that life could teach us.

How are ironic bonds and covalent bonds different and how are they different?
Vinil7 [7]
Ionic bonds are forces that hold together electrostatic forces of attractions between oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds have an electronegativity difference greater than or equal to 2. Covalent bonds have an electronegativity difference that is less than 2.
