Answer:

Wavelength (typically measured in nanometers) is the distance between two points in a wave.Frequency (typically measured in Hertz) is the number of waves in a specific time . Frequency and wavelength have both direct and inverse relationships. The crucial difference between frequency and wavelength is that frequency shows the total number of wave oscillations in a given time. As against wavelength specifies the distance between two specific points of a wave.

Explanation:

Frequency is how often something changes per second be it amplitude of a voltage on a wire or be it the bobbing back and forth of a bobblehead. Frequency is how often something moves up and down in a second. If a bobble head moves forward and backward in one second then it has a bobbling frequency of 1 Hertz (Hz). The unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz) or # of cycles or oscillations per second. A wavelength is measured in distance like meters (m). For photons or light or radiowaves the equation is wavelength=speed of light/frequency.

An element belonging to the halogen family would be expected to have a ________ ionization energy and a ________ electron affini

nikklg [1K]

<span>An element belonging to the halogen family would be expected to have a large ionization energy and a large electron affinity.
Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and astatine are the elements that belongs to the halogen family and mostly they have high values of ionization energy.
The amount of energy released when an electron is added to an atom or molecule to form a negative ion or anion is electron affinity.</span>Chlorine from this family has highest electron affinity.

1.) What are the chemical properties of matter?

denis23 [38]

Answer:

Chemical properties are properties that can be measured or observed only when matter undergoes a change to become an entirely different kind of matter. They include reactivity, flammability, and the ability to rust. Reactivity is the ability of matter to react chemically with other substances.

Do equal volumes of the same gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules (number of moles)?

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:Therefore, there must be a direct relationship between these volumes of gases and the number of molecules they contain. Avogadro's law says that: Equal volumes of different gaseous substances, measured under the same pressure and temperature conditions, contain the same number of molecules.

Explanation:I hope it works for you.
