The question is basically asking what is happening to the energy (that is in the form of heat) when it is being absorbed by an object. The energy being absorbed from the heat source is being turned into kinetic energy. This can be explained by temperature change. As you add more heat to an object, the temperature rises. Since temperature is the average kinetic energy of all of the molecules in an object, we can say that as temperature rises so does the kinetic energy of the molecules in the object. Due to the fact that heat is causing the temperature to increase, we can say that the energy from the heat is being turned into kinetic energy.

I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.

What do Potassium and Krypton have in common and what are their differences based on their location on the periodic table?

Kamila [148]

Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Potassium is more reactive than Krypton because it only has one valence electron.

K and Kr are both in Period 4, so they each have the n = 1, 2, 3, and 4 shells. Kr is less reactive than K because it already has a complete octet.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same period, so they have the same number of electron shells. Krypton is more reactive than Potassium because it has a full outer shell” is <em>incorrect </em>because having a full outer shell means that the element is unreactive.

“Potassium (K) and Krypton (Kr) are in the same group, so they have the same number of valence electrons. They have different numbers of electron shells” is <em>incorrect </em>for three reasons:

1. K is in Group 1 and Kr is in Group 18.

2. K has one valence electron, and Kr has eight valence electrons.

3. They have the same number of electron shells.

1. K and Kr have different numbers of valence electrons.

2. They have the same number of electron shells.

Based on the vibrational difference you observed, state a hypothesis to explain why diatomic molecules in the air, such as oxyge

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ability of a gas to function as a green house gas depends on its ability to absorb infra red rays. In turn, the absorption of infrared red rays depends on whether or not the molecule is IR active.

The triatomic molecules such as methane and water are IR active. Only IR active molecules can lead to green house effect.

Note that for a molecular vibrational mode to be IR active, the dipole moment of the molecule is changed as the vibration occurs .

Elements in the same blank on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons

nikitadnepr [17]

Elements in the same group on the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons. The "groups" are the column (or rows). groups are vertically and periods are horizontally.
