What is quanta (keep it very simple)

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Quanta are described as discrete packets of energy because it requires a certain amount of energy (not just any amount of energy that is continuous) to excite electrons from one state to another.

How many number of electrons are in nitrogen and aluminium in their ionic States?

mariarad [96]

If you look at the periodic table you’ll noticed a trend. Group one, sometimes called 1A, has hydrogen in it, it’s group (column) has a positive charge. The group (column) next to it Group 2 sometimes called 2A has twice the charge as group 1. Then you skip the transition metals, and then land on group (column) 13. These guys have a charge of +3 typically. Then you have group 14, sometimes called 4A, and it’s weird and it kind of breaks with this trend. Then you have group (column) 15 next to it, sometime called 5A, which now starts to count down in charge, it has a charge of -3.

And each group (column) after that countdown to zero charge, once you have zero charge you know that you’re in the noble gases.

So, nitrogen in group (column) 15, also know as column 5A. This column has for the most part a charge of -3.

Aluminum is in group (column) 13, they have a charge of +3 typically.

I hope that helps.

Ionic compounds conduct electricity in the solid state true or false

antoniya [11.8K]

<h3>Answer: False</h3>

In solid form, ionic compounds do not conduct electricity. Ionic compounds will conduct electricity when melted to their liquid state. This is due to the electrons being locked in place when in solid form, but liquid form allows for the electrons to move freely.

When an experimenter draws a conclusion that he assumes will apply to all situations set up similarly to his test situation, eve

frosja888 [35]

Before making any observations, deductive reasoning relies on the formulation of a hypothesis and its subsequent substantiation.

<h3>Deductive reasoning: What does it mean?</h3>

Since the sentence states that "he assumes will apply to all instances," he is suggesting something before to carrying out any observation, which is the foundation of deductive reasoning.

A conclusion in deductive reasoning is based on the agreement of several premises that are typically taken to be true. Sometimes, top-down logic is used to describe deductive reasoning. Making logical assumptions is the foundation of deductive reasoning, which then bases a conclusion on those assumptions.

The primary distinction between inductive and deductive thinking is that the former tries to develop a hypothesis, whilst the latter aims to test an existing theory. From specific observations, inductive reasoning proceeds to

Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b

DIA [1.3K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Longest wavelength = 343.7 nm

<h3>Solution and Explanation:</h3>

In this question we need to first use the concept of energy of a photon.

Energy of a photon, E, is given by the formula, E = hf, where h is the plank's constant, f is the frequency.

But since, f is given by dividing speed, c, by wavelength, λ, then;

E = hc/λ

We are given 348 kJ/mol required to break carbon-carbon bonds.

We know that; 1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

We are required to find the longest wavelength with enough energy to break the C-C bonds.

This can be worked out in simple steps:

Step 1: Energy required to break one bond (kJ/bond)

1 mole of bonds = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Therefore;

348 kJ = 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

Thus;

1 bond = 348 kJ ÷ 6.022 × 10^23 bonds.

= 5.778 x 10^-22 kJ

But; 1000 joules = 1 kJ

Hence; energy per bond = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Step 2: Energy per photon

Breaking one bond requires energy equivalent to energy of a photon.

Therefore;

1 photon = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

= 5.778 x 10^-19 J/photon

Step 3: Calculating the wavelength

From the equation of energy of a photon;

E = hc/λ

h is the plank's constant = 6.626 × 10^-34 J/s

c is the speed of light in vacuum = 2.9998 × 10^8 m/s

E is the energy of a photon = 5.778 x 10^-19 Joules

Therefore, making λ (wavelength) the subject;

$wavelength = \frac{hc}{E}$

$= \frac{(6.626 . 10^{-34})(92.9998.10^8) }{(5.778 .10^{-19} )}$

$= 3.437. 10^{-7} m$

= 3.437 x 10^-7 m

But; 1 nm = 10^-9 m

Thus;

wavelength = 343.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of the radiation will be 343.7 nm
