Answer: In gases the particles move rapidly in all directions, frequently colliding with each other and the side of the container. With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. The actual average speed of the particles depends on their mass as well as the temperature – heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at the same temperature. The oxygen and nitrogen molecules in air at normal room temperature are moving rapidly at between 300 to 400 metres per second. Unlike collisions between macroscopic objects, collisions between particles are perfectly elastic with no loss of kinetic energy.
Explanation: This is very different to most other collisions where some kinetic energy is transformed into other forms such as heat and sound. It is the perfectly elastic nature of the collisions that enables the gas particles to continue rebounding after each collision with no loss of speed. Particles are still subject to gravity and hit the bottom of a container with greater force than the top, and giving gases weight. Hope this helps with your problem! Byeeee :DDD
E = hc/(lamda)
The lamda symbol is wavelength, which this site does not have. I can represent it with an "x" instead.
Plancks constant, h = 6.626×10^-32 J·s
Speed of light, c = 3.00×10^8 m/s
The energy must be greater than or equal to 1×10^-18 J
1×10^-18 J ≤ (6.626×10^-32 J·s)*(3.0×10^8 m/s) / x
x ≤ (6.626×10^-32 J·s)*(3.0×10^8 m/s) / (1×10^-18 J)
x ≤ 1.99×10^-7 m or 199 nm
The wavelength of light must be greater than or equal to 199 nm
The correct answer is Bromine
Hope this helped:)
