How do you know how many an atom contains and how many electrons the entire ion has either lost or gained?

If you mean how many electrons an atom contains then this is the same as the atomic number of the atom. For example, the atomic number of oxygen is 8 so it contains 8 protons. Since in a stable atom, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, oxygen contains 8 electrons.

If you have an ion and you want to know how many electrons it has lost or gained, you look at the charge. If it is a 2+ ion then it has lost two electrons, if it's a - ion then it has gained an electron. The number of electrons in an ion is the atomic number +/- the charge shown. For example a Mg2+ ion would have 10 electrons as a magnesium atom has 12 electrons and loses two to form the 2+ ion.

How much energy do individual photons of 470 nm light have
IceJOKER [234]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

4.227 × 10^-19 Joules

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Energy of a photon of light is calculated by the formula;

E = hf, where h is the plank's constant, 6.626 × 10^-34 J-s and f is the frequency.

But, f = c/λ

Where, c is the speed of light (2.998 × 10⁸ m/s), and λ is the wavelength.

Given the wavelength is 470 nm or 4.7 × 10^-7 m

Therefore;

E = hc/λ

  = (6.626 × 10^-34 J-s × 2.998 × 10^8 m/s) ÷ 4.7 × 10^-7 m

  = 4.227 × 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, the energy of a photon with 470 nm is 4.227 × 10^-19 Joules

Which of the following statements are TRUE concerning this laboratory exercise - The systematic identification of an organic com
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

True;

True;

False;

True;

True.

Explanation:

Organic compounds can be found pure, but generally, they are in mixtures, such as the petroleum, so it is possible to the compound received be impure;

Organic compounds can be found in the three states: solid, liquid or gas. The state will depend on the molecular forces in it and its molar mass. For example, gasoline is liquid in the ambient temperature, natural gas is a gas, and the glucose is solid;

The main characteristic of the organic compounds is the presence of C and H, the other elements can or can't be in the structure: O, N, halogens, and S;

Because of the carbon can form chains, there are several million possible known organic compounds;

The spectroscopic would give some results such as composition, molar mass, and diffraction, and with these results, it would be possible to identify some chemical properties and the tests needs more identification.
