Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.

1 answer:

4 0

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

The Dew Point... a. is the same as temperature when the relative humidity is 100%. b. can only be given in Kelvin degrees. c. is

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The dew point refers to the temperature at which the amount of water vapor present in the air is so high that the relative humidity becomes 100%, and with the increasing rate of cooling, the condensation process takes place and dew is formed.

So for dew point to occur, the air temperature must reach a condition where the air is fully saturated or the relative humidity is 100%.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

It takes to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond

Zolol [24]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

It takes 151 kJ/mol to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: 793 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the light = 151 kJ= 151000 J (1kJ=1000J)

N= moles = 1 = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = ?

Putting in the values:

$151000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{\lambda}$

${\lambda}=7.93\times 10^{-7}m=793nm$ $1m=10^{-9}nm$

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 793 nm

Why does nuclear fusion occur in stars but not on Earth?

disa [49]

Answer:

Fusion reactions require a lot of heat and pressure

Explanation:

nuclear fusion takes place only at extremely high temperatures. That's because a great deal of energy is needed to overcome the force of repulsion between the positively charged nuclei. ... A: Nuclear fusion doesn't occur naturally on Earth because it requires temperatures far higher than Earth temperatures.
