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

Physics
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]3 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

What is the period of a water wave with a frequency of 0.5 Hz?
timama [110]
The period of a water wave with a frequency of 0.5 Hz is 2 seconds. Frequency is the inverse of the period (t) and it is the number of oscillations per unit time or is the number of repetitions of an event by an object per unit time. Frequency can also be calculated in terms of wavelength and speed of light.

A ball is dropped from a tower that is 512 feet high. Use the formula below to find height of the ball 5 seconds after it was dr
Igoryamba

Answer:

The height of the ball after 5 seconds is 162 ft.

Explanation:

First, replace the variable <em>t</em><em> </em>with how many seconds the ball has dropped, which in this case is 5.

h = 512 - 14 {t}^{2}  \\ h = 512 - 14 \times  {5}^{2}

Solve.

h = 512 - 14 \times {5}^{2}  \\ h = 512 - 14 \times 25 \\ h = 512 - 350 \\ h = 162

For a duration of 5 seconds, the ball had managed to drop 350 feet, with 162 feet left to go to touch ground level.

A bird, accelerating from rest at a constant
irina [24]

Answer:

Average velocity of the bird is 2.54 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bird, u = 0

It experiences a displacement of, d = 28 m

Time taken, t = 11 s

We need to find the average velocity of the bird. Let v is the average velocity. Mathematically, it is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{28\ m}{11\ s}

v = 2.54 m/s

So, the average velocity of the bird is 2.54 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
