A certain shade of blue has a frequency of 7.02 × 1014 Hz. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this light?
ruslelena [56]
 <span>The energy (E) per photon is expressed by Planck's equation: E = hf, where f is 
the frequency and h is Planck's constant, experimentally determined to be 
6.625 * 10**-34 joule-seconds. So to find E, we multiply h by the frequency 
and obtain E = hf = (6.625 * 10**-34)(7.0 * 10**14) = 46.375 * 10**-20 joule 
or in standard notation, E = 4.6375 * 10**-19 joule per photon. 

Hope this answers your question.Sorry if I calculated wrong.</span>

Write the formula for potassium oxide. why do you not need prefixes in the name ​
Molodets [167]

Potassium oxide: K₂O.

There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Find the two elements on a periodic table:

  • Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
  • Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.

Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.

  • Potassium is a metal,
  • Oxygen is a nonmetal.

A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:

  • Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
  • Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion \text{O}^{2-} when it combines with metals.

The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each \text{O}^{2-} ion is twice that on a \text{K}^{+} ion. Each \text{K}^{+} would pair up with two \text{O}^{2-}. Hence the subscript in the formula: \text{K}_{\bf 2}\text{O}.

There are two classes of compounds:

  • Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
  • Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.

Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide \text{CO}_2, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula \text{CO}_2. However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as \text{K}_2\text{O}.
