Where are earthquakes and tsunamis more common and why?

Earthquakes are more common in some parts of the world than others, because some places, like California, sit on top of the meeting point, or fault, of two plates. ... When those plates scrape against each other and cause an earthquake, the results can be deadly and devastating. And then Tsunamis occur most often in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia because the Pacific Rim bordering the Ocean has a large number of active submarine earthquake zones. However, tsunamis have also occurred recently in the Mediterranean Sea region and are expected in the Caribbean Sea as well.

Tsunamis are the largest waves in the world. The edges of the plates, where earthquakes and volcanoes often occur, usually lie near the edges of the oceans

For the reaction o(g) + o2(g) → o3(g) δh o = −107.2 kj/mol given that the bond enthalpy in o2(g) is 498.7 kj/mol, calculate the

Aneli [31]

The reaction;
O(g) +O2(g)→O3(g), ΔH = sum of bond enthalpy of reactants-sum of food enthalpy of products.
ΔH = ( bond enthalpy of O(g)+bond enthalpy of O2 (g) - bond enthalpy of O3(g)
-107.2 kJ/mol = O+487.7kJ/mol =O+487.7 kJ/mol +487.7kJ/mol =594.9 kJ/mol
Bond enthalpy (BE) of O3(g) is equals to 2× bond enthalpy of O3(g) because, O3(g) has two types of bonds from its lewis structure (0-0=0).
∴2BE of O3(g) = 594.9kJ/mol
Average bond enthalpy = 594.9kJ/mol/2
=297.45kJ/mol
∴ Averange bond enthalpy of O3(g) is 297.45kJ/mol.

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?

Scrat [10]

It is energetically favorable for all atoms to have a complete outer electron shell. Loosely, the atoms on the left hand side of the periodic table only have a few extra electrons in their outer shell so it is energetically favorable for them to lose them. The atoms on the right hand side of the periodic table almost have enough electrons in their outer shell and so they have a tendency to gain them. Once electrons have left an electron shell, an atom will have a positive charge because it has more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges). Similarly, an electron which has gained electrons to complete its outer shell will have a negative charge because it now has more electrons (negative charge) than protons (positive charge).
