In what sense is the wave motion of a guitar string analogous to the motion of an electron in an atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

A guitar string vibrates when we strikes it. It starts vibrating in several modes simultaneously. It stretches between the saddle and the nut. This distance represents one-half wavelength.

Now if we consider that the string forms a circle, then we have an interpretation of an electron which vibrates in the orbit surrounding the nucleus. We are aware that electrons have wavelength. If the circumference of the orbit happens to be the integer multiple of wavelength , then the orbit is "allowed" since "the electron will retraces its own path."

This explains the line spectrum and not a continuous spectrum.

A line spectrum refers an electron that jumps between the specific energy levels, thus producing only specific colors.

A gas has a pressure of 5.7 atm at 100.0°C. What is its pressure at20.0°C (Assume volume is unchanged)
son4ous [18]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{4.5 atm}}

Explanation:

The volume and amount of gas are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:

At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

\dfrac{p_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}}{T_{2}}

Data:

p₁ =5.7 atm; T₁ = 100.0 °C

p₂ = ?;          T₂ =  20.0 °C

Calculations:

1. Convert the temperatures to kelvins

T₁ = (100.0 + 273.15) K = 373.15

T₂ =  (20.0 + 273.15) K = 293.15

2. Calculate the new pressure

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{5.7}{373.15} & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{293.15}\\\\0.0153 & = & \dfrac{p_{2}}{293.15}\\\\0.0153\times 293.15 &=&p_{2}\\p_{2} & = & \textbf{4.5 atm}\end{array}\\\text{The new pressure will be $\large \boxed{\textbf{4.5 atm}}$}

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.
denpristay [2]

The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of Be is:1s^{2}2s^{2}

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell (2s^{2}).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from 2s orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

1s^{2}2s^{0}

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as Be^{2+}.

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.

Which of the following is true? Covalent bonds are strong intermolecular forces. Covalent bonds are weak intramolecular forces.
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

They are strong intermolecular forces

Explanation:

Covalent forces are very strong intermolecular forces. In fact, we can say they are the strongest. This is because several big and giant molecules have covalent bonds holding their molecules together. A good example of this is the buckministerfullerence molecule which contains carbon atom to the order of 60 carbon atoms. It is a very giant molecule and it is covalent bond that is holding the molecules together

The strongest substance in the world is diamond. It is so strong that no other substance can cut it asides another diamond. As strong as it is, the molecule is held together by very strong intermolecular forces of covalent bonds which confers the strength it has on it
