Answer: 2.75×10^-7m

Explanation:

The work function refers to the smallest energy a photon must posses in order to cause the ejection of electrons from a metal surface.

If Eo= hfo

Eo=work function of the metal

fo=threshold frequency

h= Plank's constant

But Eo= hf= hc/wavelength

Wavelength= hc/Eo

We convert Eo to joules

4.50×1.6×10^-19=7.2×10^-19J

c=3×10^8ms-1

h=6.6×10^-34Js

Wavelength= 3×10^8×6.6×10^-34/7.2×10^-19

2.75×10^-7m

Match the scientist with their scientific idea. Question 2 options: Substances combine or break apart to create new, different s
aev [14]

Answer:

1. Democritus - Matter was made of different kinds of things.

2. Bernoulli- Gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them.

3. Priestley- Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances.

Explanation:

1. Democritus was a philosopher who because of his immense contribution to atomic theory was regarded as the "FATHER OF SCIENCE". His idea was that matter was made of different kinds of things called which he called ATOMOS meaning ATOM.

2. Daniel Bernoulli was another outstanding mathematician and scientist who played a major part in the kinetic molecular theory of gases via his "HYDRODYNAMICA". His idea, which states that "gases are formed from tiny particles so small you can’t see them. The particles are spread out into a certain area and move when people walk through them"

was based on fluid dynamics.

3. Joseph Priestley is remarkably known for his 1774 discovery of oxygen. His findings that air is a mixture of gases and not just a substance made of one element paved the way for his idea that " Substances combine or break apart to create new, different substances".

One atom of silicon can properly be combined in a compound with
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Silicon has 14 electrons

Silicon is part of Group IV, all the elements there have 4 valence electrons.

It can form a compound when 4 valence electrons bind with the 4 valence elctrons of silicon

A. four atoms of calcium.

Calcium has 2 valence elctrons. 4 atoms of calcium <u>cannot bind</u> on 1 atom of silicon since there are only 4 valence electrons.

B. one atom of chlorine.

1 atom of chlorine has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can bind with an atom with 1 valence electron. Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, they will <u>not bind.</u>

Silicon can bind with 4 atoms of chlorine to form SiCl4

C. two atoms of oxygen.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons, this means oxygen can bind with an element with 2 valence electrons.

Since silicon has 4 valence electrons, it <u>can bind</u> with 2 atoms of oxygen to form SiO2 (silicon dioxide).

D. three atoms of hydrogen.

Hydrogen has 1 valence electron. 1 hydrogen atom can bind with an element that has 7 valence electrons.

Three atoms of hydrogen can bind with an element that has 5 valence electrons.

Silicon <u>will not</u> bind with 3 atoms of hydrogen ( but can bind with 4 atoms of hydrogen)
