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

Please help urgent Balance the following word equation:
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

AlCl3 + 3Na > Al + 3NaCl

Explanation:

AlCl3+Na → Al + NaCl

Al =1 Al=1

Cl =3 Cl = 1

Na=1. Na = 1

so balance

and it would be

Alcl3 + 3Na → Al + 3NaCl

There are two isotopes of an unknown element, X-19 and X-21. The abundance of X-19 is 14.55%. A weighted average uses the percen
alekssr [168]

Answer:

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Explanation:

The average molar mass is defined as the sum of the molar mass of each isotope times its abundance. For the unknown element X that has 2 isotopes the weighted average is defined as:

X = Mass X-19 * Abundance X-19 + MassX-21 * Abundance X-21

The contribution of the X-19 isotope is its mass (19.00 amu) times its abundance (14.55% = 0.1455). That is:

19.00amu * 0.1455 =

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

What does temperature indirectly measure? 1)Sound 2)Thermometers 3)Chemical Reactions 4)Heat​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Heat

Explanation:

Temperature is the average thermal energy (or heat) in a substance. Sound isn't really related, thermometers measure temperature, and chemical reactions can produce heat, but none of those are measured by temperature.

If two carbon atoms are bonded by a double covalent bond, how many additional bonds can each carbon atom form?
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Carbon Is tetravalent. This means that at any particular point in time, the number of bonds carbon can form at a particular time is 4. Now in this particular question, there is already a double bond between the two carbon atoms. This means that each of the carbon atom has the chance to fulfill it tetra valency by attaching just two bonds to itself.

Hence, to complete the property of its tetra valency, two more bonds needed to be added to the two carbon atoms
