Why do electrons gain energy?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Novay_Z [31]3 years ago

Electrons can gain the energy it needs by absorbing light. If the electron jumps from the second energy level down to the first energy level, it must give off some energy by emitting light. The atom absorbs or emits light in discrete packets called photons, and each photon has a definite energy.

<u>☁️</u><u>My Answer☁️:</u>

Atomic electrons lose / gain energy when transferring from one orbital to another and hence emitting / absorbing a photon. Free electrons (by which I mean electrons that are not part of an atom) lose or gain energy by scattering inelastic ally with atoms or molecules. In this case, energy is transferred to / from the atom or molecule from / to the electron in the form of kinetic energy

How many moles of hydrogen molecules (h2) are present in 9 x 1023 molecules of hydrogen?
Marta_Voda [28]
Hello

So the molar mass of a Hydrogen molecule is 2. If you have 10 grams of Hydrogen molecules, you have 5 moles<span> of Hydrogen molecules (10 moles of Hydrogen atoms). Avogadro's number is 6.0225x10^23. This means that </span>one mole<span> of a substance has that many particles.

For each reaction, identify the element that gets reduced and the element that gets oxidized. 2 AgCl + Zn ⟶ 2 Ag + ZnCl 2 2AgCl+
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Consider the following reaction:

2AgCl + Zn  → 2Ag + ZnCl₂

In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.

4NH₃  +  3O₂   →   2N₂ +  6H₂O

In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.

Fe₂O₃ +  2Al  →   Al₂O₃ +  2Fe

In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.

Crazy boy [7]

Based on the nature of the sub-atomic particles, the correct answers are:

5. No Charge

6. Negative

7. Neutrons and Protons

8. 35 electrons

9. atomic number is 5

10. atomic mass is 11

11. number of protons is 15

12. number of electrons is 20

13. number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. mass number is 7

15. number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

<h3>What are the sub-atomic particles?</h3>

The sub-atomic particles are the electrons, protons, and neutrons.

The electron is negatively-charged, the proton is positively-charged, whereas, the neutron is neutral and has no charge.

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.

The sum of protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.

Considering the given questions:

5. What type of charge does a neutron have?

Answer = No Charge

6. What type of charge does an electron have?

Answer =  Negative

7. Which two subatomic particles are located in the nucleus of an

Answer = Neutrons and Protons

8. If an atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, how many electrons will it have orbiting the nucleus?

Answer = 35 electrons

9. What is the atomic number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic number is 5

10. What is the atomic mass/mass number of the atom in the diagram above?

Answer = atomic mass is 11

11. How many protons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 15?

Answer = number of protons is 15

12. How many electrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 20?

Answer = number of electrons is 20

13. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom with an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 30 (55 -25)

14. What is the mass number of an atom with 3 protons, 4 neutrons, and 3 electrons?

Answer = mass number is 7

15. How many neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom that has an atomic mass of 36 and an atomic number of 25?

Answer = number of neutrons is 11 (36 - 25)

In conclusion, the mass number of an atom is the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the an atom.

Fill in the blanks: Electrons are ___ in an ionic bond, whereas they are___ in a polar covalent bond, and ___ in a nonpolar cova
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared".

Explanation:

Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion. In polar covalent bonding, electrons are unequally shared. This means that the electrons spend more time in an atom than the other, which gives partial positive and negative charges to the atoms. On the other hand in nonpolar covalent bonding, the electrons are equally shared and no charges are created.
