A sodium chloride is like most of the ionic compounds existing here on earth in which they are composed of having a high melting point and by this, if found in underground rock deposits, they are usually in a form of solid.

A photon with 2.3 eV of energy can eject an electron from potassium. What is the corresponding wavelength of this type of light?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

$\lambda=540.16\ nm$

Explanation:

Given that:

The energy of the photon = 2.3 eV

Energy in eV can be converted to energy in J as:

1 eV = 1.60 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

So, Energy = $2.3\times 1.60\times 10^{-19}\ J=3.68\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Considering

$Energy=\frac {h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light being bombarded

Thus,

$3.68\times 10^{-19}=\frac {6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

$\frac{3.68}{10^{19}}=\frac{19.878}{10^{26}\lambda}$

$3.68\times \:10^{26}\lambda=1.9878\times 10^{20}$

$\lambda=5.40163\times 10^{-7}\ m=540.16\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Also,

1 m = 10⁻⁹ nm

So,

$\lambda=540.16\ nm$

Water is a polar molecule, meaning the electrons that are shared between the atoms aren't shared equally so oxygen attracts more

amm1812

Answer:

Magnet with a positive and a negative pole

Explanation:

A great analogy to demonstrate what a polar molecule looks like is to imagine a magnet. A magnet has one positively charged end and one negatively charged end, two poles, that is.

Imagine that we have a magnet of a shape of a prism (water molecule has a bent shape). The two base vertices of the face of the triangle are positively charged, that's because hydrogen is less electronegative than oxygen and, hence, the two hydrogen atoms are partially positively charged in a water molecule.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen meaning it has a greater electron-withdrawing force, so electrons are closer to oxygen within the O-H bonds. Oxygen, as a result, becomes partially negatively charged, so it's our negative pole of the magnet.
