Answer:

the principal quantum number (n)

Explanation:

Quantum numbers are found in the mathematical description given to each orbital (Schrödinger's wave equation). Schrödinger is the 5th atomic model and it seeks to describe the characteristics of all the electrons in an atom. These digits are represented by letters and each of them indicates the position and energy of each of them.

The main quantum number always has integer and positive numbers and allows us to know the energy level of the orbital as well as its size. N determines the measure of the orbital, so the greater the probability of finding an electron near the nucleus of an atone, the energy of the orbital increases. All those groups of orbitals that share the same value of N are known as level or layer.

The values that the main quantum number (n) can adopt can be positive integers such as: n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

A ball of moist clay falls 17.3 m to the ground. It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping. (a) What is the a

Answer:

Acceleration, $767.08\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height from a ball falls the ground, h = 17.3 m

It is in contact with the ground for 24.0 ms before stopping.

We need to find the average acceleration the ball during the time it is in contact with the ground.

Firstly, find the velocity when it reached the ground. So,

$v^2=u^2+2ah$

u = initial velocity=0 m/s

a = acceleration=g

$v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 17.3} \\\\v=18.41\ m/s$

It is in negative direction, u = -18.41 m/s

Let a is average acceleration of the ball. Consider, v = and u = -18.41 m/s.

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{0-18.41}{24\times 10^{-3}}\\\\a=767.08\ m/s^2$

So, the average acceleration of the ball during the time it is in contact is $767.08\ m/s^2$ .

Nonconjugated β,γ-unsaturated ketones are in base-catalyzed equilibrium with their conjugated α,β-unsaturated isomers. The mecha

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equilibrium mechanism for the reversible acid is catalyzed by the isomerization of non conjugated Î², Î³- unsaturated ketones, like 3-cyclohexanone to their conjugated Î±, I²- unsaturated isomers.

Oxygen of the Carbonyl group in the ketone is protonated by the acid and this is followed by the abstraction of an Î±- hydrogen from the protonated 3-cyclo hexanone to yield ethanol

2-cyclo hexanone can be obtained by acid catalyzation of 3-cyclohexanone isomers through the formation of it's "enol".
