All of the alkali metals, Group 1, have one valence electron. which of these would represent the oxidation number of the alkali

metals such as lithium and sodium
Physics
1 answer:
Georgia [21]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

+1

Explanation:

The oxidation state of the alkali metals such as lithium and sodium which belongs to the first group will be +1.

  • For simple ions, the oxidation number is the charge they carry.
  • Oxidation number is the formal charge assigned to an atom.
  • Metals generally have a positive oxidation number which shows their readiness to lose electrons.
  • In this regard, most alkali metals would lose one electron to form bonds with other substances.
  • This way, the number of protons will be greater in them and leave a positive net charge.

Why does the uv from the sun hurt our eyes. Plz help
Oksanka [162]
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is controlled by the ozone but if it infiltrates into the atmosphere it becomes a hazard. The uv reaches our eyes and darkens the retina and blurs vision. The fovea becomes insensitive and the cells dormant. This causes gradual blindness.

The following table lists the work functions of a few commonmetals, measured in electron volts.
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Lithium

Explanation:

The equation for the photoelectric effect is

\frac{hc}{\lambda}= \phi + K_{max}

where

\frac{hc}{\lambda} is the energy of the incident photon, with

h being the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

\phi is the work function of the metal (the minimum energy needed to extract the photoelectron from the metal)

K_{max} is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons

In this problem, we have

\lambda= 190 nm = 1.9\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the incident photon

K_{max}=4.0 eV is the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons

First of all we can find the energy of the incident photon

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{1.90\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J

Converting into electronvolts,

E=\frac{1.05\cdot 10^{-18} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=6.6 eV

So now we can re-arrange the equation of the photoelectric effect to find the work function of the metal

\phi = E-K_{max}=6.6 eV - 4.0 eV=2.6 eV

So the metal is most likely Lithium, which has a work function of 2.5 eV.

Conductivity in a metal results from the metal atoms having
maks197457 [2]

Answer: A) highly mobile electrons in the valence shell

Explanation: conductivity in metals is a result of the movement of electrically charged particles—the electrons. These free electrons also known as valence electrons are free to move, and as a result they can travel through the lattice that forms the physical structure of a metal. The presence of valence electrons determines a metal's conductivity. However, several other factors can affect the conductivity of a metal such as impurities, temperature, magnetic fields etc.
