Radio waves have a lower frequency than x rays.
vichka [17]3 years ago
4 0

<u>Answer: </u>X-rays have shorter wavelength and high energy, therefore they affect more than radio waves.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Radio waves and X-rays are a type of electromagnetic waves which have both electrical and magnetic components associated with them.

X-rays have shorter wavelength than radio waves.

Relationship between the energy of the waves and the wavelength is given by Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where,

E = energy of the wave

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of the wave

From the above relation, energy is inversely related to the wavelength. As, the wavelength decreases, energy of the wave increases and vice-versa.

As, energy of the X-rays is more, they have high penetration power and hence, will harm the body more.

39.96 g product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts.

<h3>What is the stoichiometric process?</h3>

Stoichiometry is a section of chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and/or products in a chemical reaction to determine desired quantitative data.

Equation:

Ca(s) + Cl_2(g) → CaCl_2(s)

In this case, for the undergoing reaction, we can compute the grams of the formed calcium chloride by noticing the 1:1 molar ratio between calcium and it (stoichiometric coefficients) and using their molar mass of 40 g/mol and 111 g/mol by using the following stoichiometric process:

m_{ca_C_l_2}= 16.7 g Ca x \frac{1 mol \;of \;Ca}{40g Ca} x \frac{1 mol \;of \;CaCl_2}{1 mol \;Ca} x \frac{111g of \;CaCl_2}{1 mol \;CaCl_2}

m_{ca_C_l_2} = 39.96 g

Hence, 39.96 g product form when 16.7 g of calcium metal completely reacts.

How many electron are in 56fe 3
RSB [31]
The periodic table is arranged in a way so that with each step the number of protons in the nucleus is increased by 1. It makes it for an easy choice to designate elements with numbers - atomic numbers, because in that case atomic number shows the number of protons possessed by the nucleus. Like this:
H has 1 proton
He has 2 protons
Li has 3 protons
Be has 4 protons and so on

Each proton has a charge of +1. The other particle present in the nucleus - the neutron - has zero electrical charge and thus irrelevant when computing the charge of a nucleus. It is easy to deduce that the nucleus charge equals the number of protons (which in turn equals the atomic number). So the nucleus charges are:
for H it's+1
for He it's +2
for Li it's +3
for Be it's +4 and so on

Atom is an electroneutral particle by definition. It means it's summed charge must be 0. Since we've looked at everything within the nucleus (the protons and the neutrons) it's time we turn our gaze to the space around it, which is full of orbiting electrons. Each electron has a charge of -1. To make up for the positive charge in the nucleus you have to fill the space aroung the nucleus with negative electrons.Thanks to the elementary nature of both proton and electron charge, you simply have to take the same number of electrons as that of protons! Like this:
H has 1 proton and 1 electron
He has 2 protons and 2 electrons
Li has 3 protons and 3 electrons
Be has 4 protons and 4 electrons and so on

Fe has atomic number 26. It means that Fe has 26 protons and 26 electrons. If it's a neutral atom

You typed 3. Is it accidental? If so, then the answer is above. If not, then you could be trying to type 56Fe +3, which means an ionic iron with charge +3. Charges are formed when you have too many or too few electrons to counter-balance the prositive charge of the nucleus. Charge +3 means you're 3 electrons short to negate the nucleus positive charge.

In other words, Fe+3 has 26 protons and 23 electrons.

the half of an oxidation-reduction reaction shows the iron gains. what does this electron gain mean for iron.
Nataly [62]

The correct answer is option C, that is, it is reduced.

In reduction and oxidation reactions, reduction refers to the loss of an oxygen atom from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons. A reduction reaction is observed from the perspective of the molecule being reduced, as when one molecule gets reduced, another one gets oxidized. The complete reaction is called a redox reaction.

In the given case, iron gains electrons mean that it is reduced.
