Why do atoms admit radiation

Chemistry

1 answer:

Elodia [21]4 years ago

3 0

Answer:

Electromagnetic radiation is made when an atom absorbs energy. The absorbed energy causes one or more electrons to change their locale within the atom.

When the electron returns to its original position, an electromagnetic wave is produced. ... These electrons in these atoms are then in a high energy state.

what does radiation do?

The main effect radiation has on matter is its ability to ionize atoms to become ions, a phenomenon known as ionization, which is very similar to the photoelectric effect. Radioactive particles or electromagnetic waves with sufficient energy collide with electrons on the atom to knock electrons off the atom

A 410 L volume of nitrogen gas is cooled from 61 C to -25 C. What is the volume of the nitrogen at the lower temperature if all

Lena [83]

Answer:

$304.5\text{L}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the volume of the nitrogen gas at the lower temperature

From Charles' law, we know that volume and temperature (in Kelvin) are directly proportion

The mathematical relationship is:

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Where:

V1 is the initial volume which is 410 L

V2 is the final volume which is unknown

T1 is the initial temperature which we will convert to Kelvin by adding 273.15 K, we have it as 61 + 273.15 = 334.15 K

T2 is the final temperature which we have to convert to Kelvin by adding it to 273.15K : We have that as -25 + 273.15 = 248.15 K

Substituting the values, we have it that:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{410}{334.15}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{248.15} \\ \\ V_2\text{ = }\frac{248.15\text{ }\times410}{334.15} \\ \\ V_2\text{ = 304.5 L} \end{gathered}$

Determine the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 7.67 x 10^-7 cm. Then, determine the amount of energy in the radiation.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

They frequency = 3.9 * 10^16 Hz

The amount of energy E = 2.58 *10^-17 J

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

wavelength is 7.67 * 10^-7 cm

Step 2: Calculate the frequency

f = c / λ

⇒ with λ = the wavelength in nm = 7.67 nm

⇒ with c = the speed of light = 3.00 * 10^8 m/s

⇒ f = the frequency = TO BE DETERMINED

f = (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / 7.67 * 10^-9 m

f = 3.9 * 10 ^16 /s = 3.9 * 10^16 Hz

They frequency is 3.9 * 10^16 Hz

Step 3: Calculate the amount of energy

E = h *f

⇒ with E = the amount of energy (in joule)

⇒ h = Planck's constant = 6.626 *10^-34 J*s

⇒ with f = the frequency

E = 6.626 *10^-34 J*s * 3.9 * 10^16 Hz

E = 2.58 *10^-17 J

1. Metallic strontium crystallizes in a face-centered cubic lattice, with one Sr atom per lattice point. If the edge length of t

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$r=215pm$

$N_{Mn}=20$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Edge length of the unit cell $l=608pm$

Generally the equation for The relationship between edge length and radius is mathematically given by

$4r=\sqrt{2a}$

Therefore

$4r=\sqrt{2*608}$

$r=\frac{\sqrt{2*608}}{4}$

$r=215pm$

From the question we are told that:

Density $\rho=7.297$

Edge length of $l=630.0 pm=>630*10^-{10}$

Therefore Volume is given as

$V=l^3$

$V=630*10^-{10}^3$

$V=2.50047*10^{−22}$

Generally the equation for Mass is mathematically given by

$m=Volume*density$

$m=V*\rho$

$m=2.50047*10^{−22}*7.297$

$m=1.83*10^{-21}g$

Therefore Molarity is given as

$n=\frac{M}{Molar M}$

$n=\frac{1.83*10^{-21}g}{55}$

$n=3.32*10^{-23}$

Finally The atoms in a unit cell is

$N_{Mn}=Moles*Avogadro\ constant$

$N_{Mn}=3.32*10^{-23}*6.023*10^{23}$

$N_{Mn}=20$

Of the five NASA space shuttles, which one flew the most missions?

Irina-Kira [14]

Endeavour is the youngest shuttle in NASA's orbiter fleet, and was built as a replacement for Challenger. The shuttle flew 25 missions over the course of its spaceflying career, logging a total of 122,883,151 miles (197,761,261 km) on its odometer. Endeavour launched on its maiden flight, STS-49, on May 7, 1992.
