Why it is easier to remove a 2p electron from an oxygen atom than from a nitrogen atom?

Physics
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The electrons in oxygen are paired while in nitrogen, they are not.

Explanation:

To analyse this we start with writing out the ground state electronic configurations for both elements.

Oxygen: 1s²2s²2p4 meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons                  ↑↓   ↑   ↑

Nitrogen : 1s²2s²2p³ meaning the p subshell has the following arrangement of electrons  ↑    ↑    ↑

Clearly the paired electron in oxygen will be experiencing repulsion from the electron it shares an orbital with causing it to be removed easily. The electrons in nitrogen are unpaired, each orbital is singly occupied

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal
asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2} but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.

In the bohr model, what is the ratio of its kinetic energy to its potential energy?
stich3 [128]

The centrifugal force C = mv^2/r = kq^2/r^2 = P centripetal force. m is the electron mass, q are the proton and electron charges (opposites), and r is the Bohr radius.

Thus 1/2 mv^2/r = 1/2 kq^2/r^2 and KE = 1/2 mv^2 = 1/2 kq^2/r = 1/2 PE

Therefore KE/PE = 1/2, no matter what state the electron is in.
