How do quantum numbers relate to electrons? please explain?

Quantum numbers allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example 2px). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else.

Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.

Answer:

The parents and offspring all have phenotype ww. That leaves 100% probability of short wings and 0% long wings.

Explanation:

If long wings are a dominant trait, that means short wings are recessive. If two short winged flies are crossed, each of their phenotypes are ww. Therefore, each of their offspring also have phenotype ww, or short wings.

A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass o

Answer:

Recoil speed, $1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the comet fragment, $m_1=1.96\times 10^{13}\ kg$

Speed of the comet fragment, $v_1=6.5\times 10^4\ m/s$

Mass of Callisto, $m_2=1.08\times 10^{23}\ kg$

The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero. So,

$m_1v_1=(m_2+m_2)V$

V is recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision.

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{(m_2+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{13}\times 6.5\times 10^4}{(1.96\times 10^{13}+1.08\times 10^{23})}\\\\V=1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

So, the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision is $1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

Based on the chemical reaction, Carbon reacts with Oxygen would yield Carbon Dioxide, we can imply that the "Atoms are always conserved during chemical reactions." It is one of the fundamental concepts in chemistry wherein the mass is always conserved in a reaction since it can't be created nor destroyed.
