Which best describes a compound such as sodium chloride?

Two metals (Metal A and Metal B) are both exposed to a laser which emits photons that have a greater energy than the work functi

Tresset [83]

Answer:

shorter than

equal to

Explanation:

Let us go back to the Einstein photoelectric equation;

KE = E - Wo

Where

KE = kinetic energy of the photoelectron

E = energy of the incident photon

Wo = work function of the metal

But KE = 1/2mv^2

Thus the velocity of the emitted photoelectron is determined by the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron.

Since the work function of metal A is smaller than that of metal B, the kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from metal A is greater than that of photoelectrons emitted from metal B . Therefore, the velocity of electrons from metal A is greater than those from metal B.

From de Broglie relation;

λ = h/mv

Where;

λ = de Broglie wavelength

h = Plank's constant

m = mass

v = velocity

Metal A producing electrons with greater velocity will lead to a shorter de Broglie wavelength compared to those from metal B.

The number of photoelectrons ejected is determined by the intensity of the photons and not the energy of the incident photons or the work function of the metals. Since the two metals are exposed to the the same laser, equal number of photoelectrons are produced for metals A and B.

Kisachek [45]

The rule is number your table 1 2. 3 4 5 6 7 0 the number of shells increase as you go further up as it indicates the number of electrons on the outer shell e.g Argon will have 3 electrons on its outer shell hope this helps if not its then tighttt

Alkaline earth metal whose cation isoelectric with Kr is strontium (Sr).

What is Alkaline earth metal?

Six chemical elements from group 2 of the periodic chart make up the alkaline earth metals. They are boron (R), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and radium (Ra). The elements share many characteristics, including being glossy, silvery-white, moderately reactive metals at standard pressure and temperature.

They share a full outer s-orbital structurally, meaning that this orbital includes all two of its electrons, which the alkaline earth metals rapidly lose to form cations with a charge of +2 and an oxidation state of +2.

All of the identified alkaline earth metals are found in nature, albeit radium is not a primordial element but only appears as part of the decay chain of uranium and thorium.

The chemical element strontium has the atomic number 38 and the symbol Sr. Strontium is a soft, silver-white, yellowish metallic element that is an alkaline earth metal and has a strong reactivity to chemicals. When the metal is exposed to air, a thick layer of dark oxide forms. Similar to its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, barium and calcium, strontium exhibits physical and chemical characteristics. It is mostly obtained from the minerals celestine and strontianite, where it is found naturally.

The reversible reaction, 4HCl(g) + Si (s) ⇌ SiCl4 (l) + 2H2 (g) , would be classified as a ______________ reaction.

just olya [345]

Answer:

endothermic

Explanation:

endothermic reactions absorb heat from their surroundings, in this reaction the reactants are gas and solid and the products are liquid and gas, implying heat was absorbed to turn a solid to a liquid.
