An electron and an antielectron (positron) each have a rest energy of 0.511 MeV , or approximately 8.2×10−14 J . When an electro

n and a positron are both stationary and located next to each other during an annihilation process, their mass energy converts to electromagnetic energy released as photons, electromagnetic particles that have momentum but no mass and that travel at the speed of light. What is the minimum number of photons that could be released, and how much energy would each photon posses?

Answer:

Explanation:

Photon is also a particle . Hence when two particles like electron and positron annihilate to get completely changed to photons , a minimum of two photons of equal and opposite momentum and energy are produced flying in opposite direction  to conserve momentum and energy . Each photon will have same energy equal to 511 keV . It is so to conserve momentum and energy. Initially total momentum was zero so finally too total momentum should be zero.

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)

Magnesium is a metal of group-2 with 2 valence electrons.It has atomic number of 12.

[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will loose two electrons.

[Mg]^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^6

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-...[1]

Oxygen is a non metal of group-16 with 6 valence electrons..It has atomic number of 8.

[O]=1s^22s^22p^4

In order to attain noble gas configuration it will gain two electrons.

[O]^{2-}=1s^22s^22p^6

O+2e^-\rightarrow O^{2-}..[2]

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.
