Which statement about relative potential energy of electrons is correct?

Biology

6 0

The correct answer is: C. An electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Electron shells or energy levels of the electrons are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found (electrons occupy only energy levels not the space between them). Electrons in the level 1 (K) have the lowest amount of energy, electrons at higher levels have more energy thet increases by a fixed, discrete amount. Electrons can jump to the higher level by absorbing energy or to a lower by releasing it in the form of light.

Answer:

Option C, An electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Explanation:

There are different arrangements of orbits s,p,d and f, where s is the closest to the nucleus and has least energy as compared to  other orbits.  Also, even in p orbitals an electron which lies in 2p orbit is close to nucleus and hence has less energy as compared to electron lying in 3p orbit. Thus, the nearer the orbit lies to the nucleus , the lesser is the energy of the electron rotating in this orbit as they face the strongest force of positively charged nucleus.

Hence, option C is correct.

According to the instruction manual analogy, how many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits? Write your
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Same volume as the cell it is divided from.

Explanation:

The particular volume will be diverse for different sorts of cells. The best answer would be that the new cell will essentially have a similar volume as the one that it formed or divided from. This is valid for most eukaryotic cells except if different variables like mutations or epigenetics condition.

Increasing volume of the cell and now likewise associated with cell division would be during the two phases G1 and G2 in the cell cycle. This is the development period of the cell preparing for division. No matter what are the condition other than mention above if mitosis or division occurs, the cells will ordinarily end with a similar volume as when it began.

A plant growing in a pot is more likely to be affected by a shortage of minerals than a plant growing in a garden.
lesantik [10]
Because there is a limited amount of compost with a limited amount of minerals. In the garden there is loads of soil and loads of minerals. because of decomposition and absorption minerals can easily be replaced in the garden soil, unlike in a plant pot.

Of energy-absobing reaction and energy-releasing reaction which one is more likely to start spontaneosly and why?
zmey [24]

Answer:

Energy releasing reaction = exergonic reaction (negative G) is more likely to be spontaneous.

Explanation:

Exergonic reactions do not need any input of energy, and therefore are happening spontaneously. On the other hand, endergonic reactions need an energy input. These reactions are often paired = coupled reactions.

Hope this will help :)
