Characterize the size of an atom.

Atoms are the smallest known substance to man, the building blocks of everything, the atoms size usually depends on the electrons, the electrons are what really takes up space.

And my source ( Google ) says :

Because electrons are what take up space in atoms, the result is that the size of the biggest filled orbital determines the size of the atom or ion. Sizes of orbitals depend on the quantum numbers (n = 1, n = 3, etc.) and also on the effective nuclear charge.

Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!

What is the frequency of the light with a wavelength of 4.90x10^-7 m

docker41 [41]

Answer: $6.12\times 10^{14}$ Hz

Explanation: Recall the formula for the speed of light is

$c=\lambda v$

where $c$ is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is the wavelength, and $v$ is the frequency. Assuming this takes place in a vacuum, $c=3.00\times 10^8$ m/s. Now we can solve for frequency

$c=\lambda v$

$3.00\times 10^8 = 4.90\times 10^{-7}\cdot v$

$v = \frac{3.00\times 10^8}{4.90\times 10^{-7}}$

$v =6.12\times 10^{14}$ (rounding to 3 sig figs)

Thus, the frequencyis $6.12\times 10^{14}$ Hz.

Will P and O2 share or transfer electrons?<br> P + O2 →P4,O10

padilas [110]

Answer:

They will share electrons .

Explanation:

When P and O2 reacts, they will share electrons as both of the elements are non-metals.

Only metal elements such as K , Na , Ca , etc. can transfer electrons to the other non-metal elements.
