Answer:

b. electronegativity

Explanation:

The ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons is best quantified by the _Electronegativity_.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract a shared pair of electron which is loosely held. Polar molecules often possess such properties. The Halogen group (group 17) is famous for such property because it has the highest electronegativity in periodic table.

Using the Rydberg formula, calculate the initial energy level when an electron in a hydrogen atom transitions into n= 2 and emit

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the Rydberg formula as:

$\frac {1}{\lambda}=R_H\times Z^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{n_{2}^2})$

where,

λ is wavelength of photon

R = Rydberg's constant (1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹)

Z = atomic number of atom

n₁ is the initial final level and n₂ is the final energy level

For Hydrogen atom, Z= 1

n₂ = 2

Wavelength = 410.1 nm

Also,

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength = 410.1 × 10⁻⁹ m

Applying in the formula as:

$\frac {1}{410.1\times 10^{-9}}=1.097\times 10^7\times 1^2\times (\frac {1}{n_{1}^2}-\frac {1}{2^2})$

Solving for n₁ , we get

n₁ ≅ 1

Do x-rays travel slower than infrared

OleMash [197]

No, x-rays do not travel slower than infrared radiation or even the opposite. Both are travelling in vacuum therefore they travel at same speed. They differ in the frequency of the electromagnetic waves.

Solute particles can be:____

Reptile [31]

Solute particles can be atoms, ions or molecules.

Explanation:

Solute is the material which has to be mixed in the solvent to prepare a solution. So the concentration of solute should be less than the solvent. Also the solute and solvent should be of same nature other they will not dissolve with each other. The solute can be made up of atoms, ions or molecules depending upon the solvent. If the solvent concentration is in moles, then the solute concentration can be taken as atoms, ions or molecules. Also the saturation point plays a main role in deciding the kind of particles taken for the solute.

Which shows the rational expression written using the least common denominator?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The first one.

$\frac{x + 1}{4x^{2} } and \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }$

Explanation:

When comparing two fractions with variables like this, it's important to get to the same denominator in order to compare apples with apples and then be able to do not only comparisons but also perform additions/subtractions.

Question is which denominator to use and how to reach it.

In this case, the question and the answer choices do the work for you. The question asks which one is the LEAST common denominator, and the answers show denominators x² and 4x². The smallest of these is x², however, we can't simplify the first fraction to get to the x² denominator, so we'll go for the 4x².

So, the first fraction has already the correct denominator (4x²), we just have to transform the second one.

We multiply it by 1, expressed in a different way. Since we're multiplying by one, we're not affecting the value, just the way it looks.

Let's do it!, to get the denominator to go from x² to 4x², we need to multiply it by 4... so we'll multiply by 4/4 (which is 1, neutral for the multiplication).

$\frac{x + 1}{x^{2} } * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4(x + 1)}{4x^{2} }$

And now you have both fractions on the same denominator, without having changed their value, just their looks
