Answer:

The interaction between sodium ion and the partial negative charge on the oxygen is stronger.

Explanation:

The predominant interaction that exists between sodium ion and the partial negative charge on the oxygen is ion-dipole interaction.

The predominant interaction that exists between two ethanol molecules is hydrogen bonding interaction.

The order of strength of the intermolecular interactions in decreasing order:

Ionic bond > ion-dipole interaction > hydrogen bonding > dipole-dipole interaction > ion-induced dipole interaction > induced dipole- dipole interaction > london force

So, ion-dipole interaction is stronger than hydrogen bonding.

Hence, the interaction between sodium ion and the partial negative charge on the oxygen is stronger.

This flow chart shows the amount of energy that is emitted by each type of light. ultraviolet &gt; blue light &gt; yellow light
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect , radiation of some energy is made to fall on metal plate which results in the ejection of electrons by the metal plate . The kinetic energy of electrons comes from the energy of radiation falling on metal plate . Some of energy of radiation falling on metal plate is used in the process of bringing the  electron to  the surface and it is called threshold energy . The radiation must have at least this energy to see to it that electrons are ejected .  and the rest of the energy of radiation is used in imparting kinetic energy to the  electron .

The red light radiation has least energy so it is least likely to eject electrons from metal plate and produce photoelectric effect .
