The longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds is 344 nm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The longest wavelength of radiation can also be stated as the minimum radiation frequency required to cut carbon-carbon bond should be equal to the threshold energy of the carbon-carbon bonds.

The threshold energy will be equal to the binding energy of the carbon-carbon bonds. As it is known that carbon-carbon bonds exhibit a binding energy of 348 kJ/mole, the threshold energy to break it, is determined as followed.

First, we have to convert the energy from kJ/mol to J, i.e., energy for the carbon-carbon molecules,

\text { Energy } = \frac{348 \mathrm{KJ} / \mathrm{mol}}{6.023 \times 10^{23} \text { photons }} \times 1 \text { mole } \times 1000 = 57.77 \times 10^{-20} = 5.78 \times 10^{-19} J

As,

         E=h v=\frac{h c}{\lambda}

So,

\lambda=\frac{h c}{E}=\frac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 * 10^{8}}{5.78 \times 10^{-19}}=3.44 \times 10^{-7}

Thus, \lambda=344 \mathrm{nm} is the longest wavelength of radiation used to break carbon-carbon bonds.

Semmy [17]
The answer is do not break, the key avoiding skids is to always smoothly apply your brakes and accelerator and to turn slowly and smoothly. Reducing of the speed before oncoming turns and once driving in possibly hazardous circumstances such as wet, icy or snow covered roadways or on roadways with loose gravel.
