Answer is: It has a negative charge and is located in orbitals around the nucleus.

The electron (symbol: e⁻) is a subatomic particle whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge.

Electrons are moving in energy levels around nucleus.

The electron has a mass that is approximately 1/1836 that of the proton.

Electrons have properties of both particles and waves.

What is the frequency of radiation.

Ivenika [448]

RADIATION. Radio waves, microwaves, IR, light, UV, x-rays, GAMMA waves etc are ALL Electromagnetic radiation. The difference between ALL the above is the frequency, I.E. The number of waves per second. The higher the frequency the more energy.

Given the following at 25C calculate delta Hf for HCN (g) at 25C. 2NH3 (g) +3O2 (g) + 2CH4 (g) ---> 2HCN (g) + 6H2O (g) delta

AysviL [449]

<u>Answer:</u> The $\Delta H_f$ for HCN (g) in the reaction is 135.1 kJ/mol.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Enthalpy change is defined as the difference in enthalpies of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles. The equation used to calculate enthalpy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(product)]-\sum [n\times \Delta H_f(reactant)]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2NH_3(g)+3O_2(g)+2CH_4(g)\rightarrow 2HCN(g)+6H_2O(g)$

The equation for the enthalpy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta H_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(HCN)})+(6\times \Delta H_f_{(H_2O)})]-[(2\times \Delta H_f_{(NH_3)})+(3\times \Delta H_f_{(O_2)})+(2\times \Delta H_f_{(CH_4)})]$

We are given:

$\Delta H_f_{(H_2O)}=-241.8kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(NH_3)}=-80.3kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(CH_4)}=-74.6kJ/mol\\\Delta H_f_{(O_2)}=0kJ/mol\\\Delta H_{rxn}=-870.8kJ$
