Which of the following atoms releases more energy than oxygen when an electron is added to its valence energy level?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Rus_ich [418]3 years ago
5 0
The answer is b. fluorine (F). This is because fluorine is a more electronegative (electron loving) atom compared to oxygen. It is found on the 7th group of the periodic table, so it has 7 valence electrons. It only needs one more electron to achieve the ideal number of valence electrons which is 8. Oxygen, on the other hand, is in group 6 so it needs 2 more electrons to complete its valency. Helium can't be the answer because it is already in group 8, meaning it is already stable and won't release energy.

A mutation occurs in a cell. Which sequence best represents the correct order of the events involved for this mutation to affect
Eva8 [605]

Answer: A change in the sequence of DNA bases--> Joining amino acids in sequence --> Appearance of characteristics

Explanation:

A mutation is a permanent shift or change from the normal DNA sequence that makes up a gene and affect traits which makes the sequence becomes different from what is commonly found in people. Mutations vary from distortion of a single DNA building block to a large segment of a chromosome.

When mutation occurs in a cell, for the mutation to affect the traits expressed by the particular cell, it must follow this sequence directly:

A change in the sequence of DNA bases--> Joining amino acids in the sequence --> Appearance of characteristics.

What is the rate of a reaction if the values are
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi there,

To get started, let's first observe our rate law:

R=k[A]^2[B]^2     we typically use square brackets [x] for chemistry kinetics, because they specifically tell us we are dealing with <em>concentrations</em>.

This rate law is in fourth-order, because the concentrations powers add up to 4. We are not told the unit of time for this prompt (unless you know it), so I just assumed the time unit to be "time."

To calculate the reaction rate, we simply plug in the concentration of A and B into the rate law. k is the <em>rate constant</em> and stays the same for an individual reaction.

R=(0.1 \ M^{-3}*time^{-1})[1 \ M]^2[2 \ M]^2=0.4 \ M/time

Thus, the rate of reaction with those concentrations is 0.4 M/time.

Notice, the rate constant does in fact have units of it own. The unit for k can be calculated by knowing that:

  1. Rate (R) must end up with units of concentration (M) per time.
  2. The concentrations raised to a power can be used to help solve for the units of k.

Why does magnesium nitrate solution react with zinc nitrate solution, but not magnesium nitrate solution?
zhannawk [14.2K]
When answering this question, you must consider the reactivity series. Mg is much higher than Zn in the reactivity series, therefore it can displace the Zn from the solution - displacement reaction.

It seems odd that you'd react Magnesium nitrate with zinc nitrate. Maybe you meant magnesium with zinc nitrate or vice Versa. Because in your case each compound would remain as it is as both Mg and Zn are happy in a relatively stable compound.

As for magnesium nitrate and magnesium nitrate, you cannot achieve a reaction between two substances that are the same. The same applies for Mg and magnesium nitrate. No displacement happens.

Hope it helps!

The chemical reaction for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 12 H2O + light
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B. During the light reactions of photosynthesis, water is split, removing electrons and protons, and oxygen gas is released.

Explanation:

In Photosynthesis two phases occurs. They are grouped into light dependent and light independent phase (dark phase) reactions. In the light dependent phase, sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll and water is split into its components ( oxygen, hydrogen ions and free electrons; photolysis). Part of the electrons and the hydrogen ions are picked up by NADP (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) converting it to NADPH and part of the electrons are used to replenished the photosystems trapping the sunlight.

For each of the following species: C2+ &amp; O2- Write the molecular orbital energy diagram and fill in the electrons Hint: in e
Tju [1.3M]

Molecular orbital energy is the energy associated with each electron in an atom or molecule.

It is expressed in electron volts (eV) and is determined by the electron's position in the atom or molecule. The molecular orbital energy diagram and fill-in the electrons are given here in each case, the number of valence electrons in the species is determined first; this is followed by the valence molecular orbital diagram for each species.
