Electron configurations:
Ge: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p2 => 6 electrons in the outer shell
Br: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p5 => 7 electrons in the outer shell
Kr: [Ar] 3d10 4s2 4p6 => 8 electrons in the outer shell
The electron affinity or propension to attract electrons is given by the electronic configuration. Remember that the most stable configuration is that were the last shell is full, i.e. it has 8 electrons.
The closer an atom is to reach the 8 electrons in the outer shell the bigger the electron affinity.
Of the three elements, Br needs only 1 electron to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has the biggest electron affinity (the least negative).
Ge: needs 2 electrons to have 8 electrons in the outer shell, so it has a smaller (more negative) electron affinity than Br.
Kr, which is a noble gas, has 8 electrons and is not willing to attract more electrons at all, the it has the lowest (more negative) electron affinity of all three to the extension that really the ion is so unstable that it does not make sense to talk about a number for the electron affinity of this atom.
If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.
20 J/s = 10% of Supply
20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)
Divide each side by 0.1:
Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)
<em>Supply = 200 J/s </em>(200 watts)
========================
Here's something to think about: What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ? Answer: Use it for a heater !
If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about. Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !
Explanation:
Momentum before = momentum after
m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂
(65 kg) (0 m/s) + m (0 m/s) = (65 kg) (-3.5 m/s) + m (4 m/s)
m ≈ 57 kg
Answer:
Explanation:
Since we know that two sphere is oppositely charged so net electric field at the mid point of two balls will be sum of the electric field due to each ball at the mid point
So we know that
here we know that
so we have
