We observe a distant object in space and see that the spectral lines for hydrogen in the object's light appear at a shorter wave

length than normal. What does this tell us about the object

Answer:

This tells us the radial velocity of the object and that the object is approaching or coming towards us.

Explanation:

Certain chemicals radiate with particular wavelengths or colors  when their temperature is raised or when they are charged electrically. Also observable are dark strokes separating the spectrum known as absorption lines

These spectral lines of chemicals are well known as stated above and from the phenomenon of Doppler effect, spectroscopy can be used to detect the movement of a distant object by the change of the emitted frequency of the wavelength

The Doppler effect is used in calculating the radial velocity of a distant object due to the fact that an approaching object compresses its emitted signal wavelength while a receding object has a longer wavelength than normal

vichka [17]
 the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram 
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g 
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g 
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal

If the two atoms participating in a bond have an electron negativity difference of 1.9 , what type of of bond would they be part
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

When the bond is formed between the atoms by sharing the electrons the bond thus have covalent character.   The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  When the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

When bonded atoms have greater electronegativity difference i.e 2 or greater than two the bond is ionic because electron is transfer from low electronegative atom to highest electronegative atom.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

In case of H₂, Cl₂, Br₂ the bond has very high covalent character because of zero electronegativity difference.
