How is an electron orbital similar to a parabola?

Chemistry
1 answer:
AVprozaik [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

First of all, the orbital path of electron is mostly parabolic in electric field.

In an electric field, electrons behave very similar to a projectile. Thus, Electrons have a parabolic path in an electric field simply because the speed of the electrons in a direction which is perpendicular to the electric field is constant since there is no force. Therefore, there will be no acceleration along that perpendicular direction. However there will be an acceleration that is constant in the direction of the electric field which makes it act in a similar manner to a projectile under gravity.

Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water to form acetylene (C2H2) and Ca(OH)2.
Sergio [31]
The answer is -60.57 = -60.6 KJ.
CaC2(s) + 2 H2O(l) ---> Ca(OH)2(s) +C2H2(g) H= -127.2 KJ
Hf C2H2 = 226.77
Hf Ca(OH)2 = -986.2
<span>Hf H2O = -285.83
Now,

</span><span>add them up. 226.77 - 986.2 + (2*285.83) = -187.77 
</span><span>Add back the total enthalpy that is given in the question
 -187.77+127.2 = -60.57 </span>

A 13.97 g sample of nabr contains 22.34% na by mass. Considering the law of constant composition (definite proportions) how many
Grace [21]

As per the law of constant composition, a given sample will always contain the same number of elements that combine in the same mass proportion.

Therefore if a sample of 13.97 g of NaBr contains 22.39 % of Na by mass then,  a sample of 5.75 g of NaBr would also contain 22.39% Na by mass

Hence:

Mass of Na = 5.75 g * 22.39/100 = 1.287 g

5.75 g of NaBr would contain 1.29 g of Na

An electron: (Select all that apply.)
n200080 [17]
Has a negative charge and emits energy when it moves to a lower energy orbit from an excited state.

electrons are NOT found in the nucleus but are actually found in rings surrounding the nucleus called orbits.

And while protons and neutrons have reltively the same mass, electrons are about 2000 times lighter. 

Also: side note, when electrons move FROM a lower energy orbit INTO an excited state, it absorbs light.
