Question

Iodine molecules separates into atoms after absorbing light of 450 nm. If one

Answer 1

Answer:E = hc/? = 4.41 x 10-19 J

Energy absorbed by each atom :

E (atom) = 2.205 x 10-19 J

Now Bond Energy of each molecule (B) = 3.98 x J

So, for each atom 1.99 x 10-19 J

So now

KE of each atom = E(atom) - B (atom)

= 2.15 x 10-19 J
