If radiation normally travels at the speed of light, why does it take longer than 100,000 years for energy from thermonuclear re

actions in the solar core to reach the surface of the Sun?

Answer:

The photons undergo innumerable collisions and interactions as they travel from atom to atom.

Explanation:

The sun is a massive body in which nuclear reaction takes place. It involves the nuclear fusion of  hydrogen atoms to produce  He atom. The Helium atom has less mass than the combination of the hydrogen atoms. The excess mass is converted to energy.

Electric charge is conserved in nuclear reactions. A positron otherwise called an anti-matter electron hits a close electron and they produce electromagnetic radiation in form of gamma rays.

x-rays are produced from gamma rays are gamma rays lose energy to nearby particles as they move towards the surface of the sun which in turn becomes ultraviolet rays. in the course of the journey to the surface of the sun, photons must have lost enough energy and be converted to visible light which we can see. The whole process happens over a 100,000years.

What is an atomic reaction​
castortr0y [4]

Atomic reaction is nothing but the reaction of one atom with the other atom to form the new compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The atom is considered as the ultimate basic particle of the matter.  
  • This atom comprise of electron neutrons and protons.
  • Generally in the atomic reaction, there will be loss or gain of the electron to or from the substance with which the reaction takes place.
  • In default, all atoms wanted to attain the noble gas configuration which is stable in nature. These atoms from the ionic or covalent bond by sharing the electron.

For each element, predict where the "jump " occurs for successive ionization energies. (For example, does the jump occur between
vichka [17]

Answer:

A jump occurs when a core electron is removed.

Explanation:

A jump in ionization energy occurs when a core electron is removed. A large jump in the ionization energy easily be seen from the electronic configuration of an element.

For Beryllium, the electronic configuration of is 1s2 2s2.

There are two valence electrons in the outermost shell hence the ionization energy data for beryllium will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the second to the third ionization energy owing to the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration for Nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. Five valence electrons are found in the outermost shell so the ionization energy data for nitrogen will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the fifth to sixth ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration of oxygen is 1s2 2s2 2p4. There are six valence electrons hence ionization energy for oxygen atom will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the sixth to the seventh ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration of Lithium is 1s2 2s1

There is one valence electron in its outermost shell so its ionization energy data will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the first to the second ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron.
