Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is <em>wrong</em> because H can use only its <em>1s orbital</em> for bonding.

3. is <em>wrong</em> because C must <em>share electrons</em> to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is <em>wrong</em> because <em>C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals</em> for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is <em>wrong</em> because H must <em>share electrons</em> to form an H-H bond.

Calculate the wavelength of the photon that would be absorbed or emitted. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
Flauer [41]

This is an incomplete question, the image for the given question is attached below.

Answer : The wavelength of photon would be absorbed, 3.06\times 10^{-7}m

Explanation :

From the given diagram of energy we conclude that,

Energy at ground state, A = 400 zJ

Energy of 2nd excited state, C = 1050 zJ

Now we have to calculate the energy of the photon.

E=E_c-E_A

E=(1050-400)zJ= 650zJ=650\times 10^{-21}J

Now we have to calculate the wavelength of the photon.

Formula used :

E=h\times \nu

As, \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

So, E=h\times \frac{c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon = 650\times 10^{-21}J

\nu = frequency of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

\lambda = wavelength of photon  = ?

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

650\times 10^{-21}J=(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times \frac{(3\times 10^{8}m/s)}{\lambda}

\lambda=3.06\times 10^{-7}m

Therefore, the wavelength of photon would be absorbed, 3.06\times 10^{-7}m

Justin B. Believes that the temperature lowering during the fall months is what causes the color of the leaves to change. He set
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is:

What is the control group, independent variable and dependent variable?

Control group: Plants placed in 80 degree rooms

Independent variable: Change in temperature

Dependent variable: Change in color of leaves

Explanation:

The independent variable in a scientific experiment is the variable that the experimenter controls or manipulates in order to bring about a change in the dependent variable. In this experiment, the variable manipulated by Justin B is the TEMPERATURE CHANGE.

On the other hand, a variable is said to be dependent if it is the variable that responds to a change made to the independent variable or rather it is the outcome. In this experiment, Justin B is trying to see the outcome on the color change in leaves when exposed to a low temperature, hence, COLOR CHANGE IN LEAVES is the dependent variable.

Control group of an experiment is the group that receives no experimental treatment. It is the group the experimenter considers normal and hence is comparing with his experimental group. In this experiment, Justin B believes the leaves change color in a low temperature, hence, he placed some plants in a lower temperature (60 degree) in order to compare them with when the plants are placed in a higher temperature (80 degree). As far as this experiment is concerned, the plants placed in 80 degrees temperature are believed by Justin B not to undergo color change, hence, they are the CONTROL GROUP while the group he placed in 60 degrees temperature are what he is interested in, making them the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP

Why is it hotter in the summer and colder in the winter?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: During the summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a steep angle. ... Also, the long daylight hours allow the Earth plenty of time to reach warm temperatures. During the winter, the sun's rays hit the Earth at a shallow angle. These rays are more spread out, which minimizes the amount of energy that hits any given spot.
