Answer:

a) Platinum > Beryllium > Aluminum > Magnesium > Potassium > Cesium

b) Cesium > Potassium > Magnesium > Aluminum > Beryllium > Platinum

c) Cesium > Potassium

Explanation:

We must recall that the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its energy. Hence as the work function of the metal increases, the minimum frequency required for emission of electrons occur increases accordingly.

Similarly, the maximum wavelength required for electron emission to occur varies inversely as the work function of the metal hence the answer provided.

Lastly, only caesium and potassium has work function less than the energy of the incident photon hence only these two metals experience electron emission with the kinetic energy of electrons emitted from caesium greater than that emitted from potassium.

Enter the chemical formula of a binary molecular compound of hydrogen and a Group 6A element that can reasonably be expected to
Ber [7]

Answer:

H₂Se

Explanation:

A way of estimating the acidity of a weak acid is by analizing the<em> stability of the formed anion</em>. In this case, we should find a Group 6A element that in its anionic forms (HX⁻ and X⁻²) is more stable than HS⁻ and S⁻², thus it would be more acidic in aqueous solution.

The anionic forms of Se are more stable than the forms of S, similarly to how Br⁻ is more stable than Cl⁻.

Identify the true statement(s) about the valence bond theory. 1. The strength of a bond depends on the amount of overlap between
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The strength of a bond depends on the amount of overlap between the two orbitals of the bonding atoms

Orbitals bond in the directions in which they protrude or point to obtain maximum overlap

Explanation:

The valence bond theory was proposed by Linus Pauling. Compounds are firmed by overlap of atomic orbitals to attain a favourable overlap integral. The better the overlap integral (extent of overlap) the better or stringer the covalent bond.

Orbitals overlap in directions which ensure a maximum overlap of atomic orbitals in the covalent bond.

How many molecules of HCl would react with 2 moles of Al?<br><br> 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

3.612 × 10^24 molecules

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation in this question is given as;

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2

Based on the equation, 2 moles of Aluminum (Al) is needed to react with 6 moles of HCl

Since 1 mole of a substance is equal to 6.02 × 10^23 molecules;

This means that, according to the question, 6 moles of HCl needed to react with 2 moles of Al will contain;

6 × 6.02 × 10^23 molecules

= 36.12 × 10^23

= 3.612 × 10^24 molecules

In a nutshell, 3.612 × 10^24 molecules of HCl would react with 2 moles of Al.
