It condenses very long strings of numbers while retaining the general accuracy of the figure.
Dmitry [639]3 years ago
5 0

Scientific notation comes in handy because it lets us take very big or very small numbers, get rid of all the zeroes,  and write them in a very compact and very simple way that's much easier to use. Also, big numbers aren't just a pain to deal with because of all the digits but they're also hard to quickly evaluate and compare with other numbers.

What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?
Maslowich

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

What two atoms are held together by a covalent bond in NaHCO3
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: covalent bond is the force of attraction that holds together two atoms that share a pair of valence electrons. Covalent bonds form only between atoms of nonmetals. The two atoms that are held together in a covalent bond may be atoms of the same element or different elements.

A chemist has synthesized two new dyes based on the molecular structure of plant-based dyes. The lowest energy absorption line f
baherus [9]

Answer:

1. The dye that absorbs at 530 nm

Explanation:

With a larger HOMO-LUMO gap, there's also a higher absorption energy, so this means that the dye with the higher absortion energy has the larger HOMO-LUMO gap.

The relationship between energy and wavelenght can be expressed by the formula E = hc/λ, this means that the <em>lower</em> the wavelenght, the <em>higher</em> the energy is. So the dye that absorbs at a lower wavelenght has a larger HOMO-LUMO gap.
