Answer:

Explanation:

In Polystrene, the molecular formula for the repeat unit = C_8H_8;

and the atomic weights of Carbon C = 12.01 g/mol

For Hydrogen, it is 1.01 g/mol

Hence, the repeat unit molecular weight is:

m = 8 (12.01 g/mol)+8(1.01 g/mol)

m = 96.08 g/mol + 8.08 g/mol

m = 104.16 g/mol

The degree of polymerization = no-average molecular weight/repeat unit molecular weight.

Mathematically;

DP = \dfrac{\overline M_n}{m}

\overline M_n= DP \times m

\overline M_n= 25000 \times 104.16 \ g/mol

\overline M_n= 2604000  \ g/mol

How many total electrons can enter the set of 3p orbitals?<br> a. 3<br> b. 10<br> c. 2<br> d. 6
Sliva [168]

Answer:

For n=3 and l=1=p

It is 3p-orbital.

Magnetic quantum number m

l

have values from -l to +l and total of 2l+1 values.

Forl=1, m

l

values are:

m

l

=−1,0,1 for l=1; total m

l

values =3= Number of orbitals

Each orbital can occupy maximum of two electron

Number of electrons =2×3=6

Thus 6 electrons will show same quantum number values of n=3 and l=1.

Number of elements with last electron in 3p orbitals = 6

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

dmitriy555 [2]
Saturated Solution: A solution with solute that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore, leaving the undissolved substances at the bottom. Unsaturated Solution: A solution ( with less solute than the saturated solution )that completely dissolves, leaving no remaining substances. Supersaturated Solution.
