<h3><u>Answer; </u></h3>

Energy such as heat light, are examples of non matter

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Matter is anything that occupies space and has weight and mass. It is also tangible, and visible.
Not everything is matter, others such as heat and light are not matter, they are non-matter, This is because they are not tangible, they lack weight, they also lack atoms or molecules, but they are form of energy.
Therefore, energy such as heat, and light are non matters

2. Balance the equation below, and answer the following question: What volume of chlorine gas, measured at STP, is needed to com

Juliette [100K]

Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)

when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L

first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation.

molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)

calculations:

$6.25 g Na ( \frac{1 mol Na}{23.0 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cl_2}{2 mol Na} ) ( \frac{22.4 L}{1 mol} )= 3.04 L$

An ionic bond forms when atoms blank electrons

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

An ionic bond forms when atoms transfer electrons.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when atoms transfer electrons. (In contrast, covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons.)

There's a distinction between the two: when two atoms react to form an ionic bond, one atom would completely lose one electron, while the other would completely gain that electron. The atom that loses the electron becomes a positively-charged ion called a cation, whereas the atom that gains the electron becomes a negatively-charged ion called an anion.

For example, consider the reaction between a sodium $\rm Na$ atom and a chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom: $\rm Na + Cl \to NaCl$ .

When the sodium atom and the chlorine atom encounter, the sodium atom would lose one electron to form a positively-charged sodium ion, $\rm Na^{+}$ . The chlorine atom would gain that electron to form a negatively-charged chlorine ion $\rm Cl^{-}$ .

These two ions will readily attract each other because of the opposite electrostatic charges on them. This electrostatic attraction (between two ions of opposite charges) is an ionic bond.

Overall, it would appear as if the sodium $\rm Na$ atom transferred an electron to the chlorine $\rm Cl$ atom to form an ionic bond.

In contrast, when two atoms react to form a covalent bond, they share electrons without giving any away completely. Therefore, it is possible to break certain covalent bonds apart (using a beam of laser, for example) and obtain neutral atoms.

On the other hand, when an ionic bond was broken, the result would be two charged ions- not necessarily two neutral atoms. The electron transfer could not be reversed by simply breaking the bond.

For example, when table salt $\rm NaCl$ is melted (at a very high temperature,) the ionic bond between the sodium ions and chloride ions would (mostly) be broken. However, doing so would only generate a mixture of $\rm Na^{+}$ and $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions- not sodium and chlorine atoms.

Calculate the energy, in joules, required to ionize a hydrogen atom when its electron is initially in the n =2 energy level. The

qaws [65]

Answer:

$E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Explanation:

$E_n=-2.18\times 10^{-18}\times \frac{1}{n^2}\ Joules$

For transitions:

$Energy\ Difference,\ \Delta E= E_f-E_i =-2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2})\ J=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J$

$\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{n_i^2} - \dfrac{1}{n_f^2})\ J$

So, $n_i=2$ and $n_f=\infty$ (As the hydrogen has to ionize)

Thus,

$\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2} - \dfrac{1}{{\infty}^2})\ J$

$\Delta E=2.18\times 10^{-18}(\frac{1}{2^2})\ J$

$E_{ionization}=5.45\times 10^{-19}\ J$
