What is a valence electron ?

2 answers:

6 0

a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

Which of the following information is necessary to describe an object's motion?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation: To describe the motion of an object, we use the equations of motion.

$v=u+at$
$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$
$2as=v^2-u^2$

From the above equations, we require position, speed and direction through which we an calculate the displacement, velocity and acceleration.

To calculate the complete motion of an object, we require all the three factors.

Hence, the correct option is B.

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme

boyakko [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = $n_i+1=(2+1)=3$

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m$

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

$1m=10^9nm$

So, $6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm$

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

Water has many exceptional and useful properties. Which is the rarest property among compounds?Water has many exceptional and us

dem82 [27]

The density of ice is less than the density of water (liquid). We generally observe that the density of a solid substance is more than its liquid form as volume of a solid is generally less than the liquid, However in case of water this is not true.

The volume of ice is less than that of liquid water due to an open cage like structure in ice which gives its a wide structure. This cage like structure is due to presence of hydrogen bond (more extensive) in ice.

The maximum density of water is observed at 4 degree celsius

Does every rock go through the rock cycle, from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic each time around???

Alex17521 [72]

No it does not ALWAYS go through all the stages because each rock forms differently at different rates. Igneous rock can weather to sediement rock, or melt to magma, however this does not necessarily mean it does this every time. It all depends on the temperature, wind, and pressure/heat.

A gas cylinder is filled with argon at a pressure of 177 atm and 25°C. What is the gas pressure when the temperature of the cyli

Elena L [17]

277.79 atm is the calculated gas pressure.

The ideal gas is a fictitious concept used to study how real gases behave by comparing them to their deviations. The pressure-temperature rules are followed by an ideal gas.

177 atm is the initial pressure. The starting temperature is 298 K (25 °C = 25 + 273 °C).

195°C = 195+273

= 468K is the final temperature.

The pressure temperature relation illustrated below can be used to get the final pressure.

P1/T1 = P2/T1

= P1T2/T1

= 177 atm 468 K /298 K

= 277.97 atm

The final pressure is therefore 277.97 atm.
