Answer:
An Orbital is best described as the volume of space in which electrons are most often found
Explanation:
As we know atom consists of sub-particles commonly known as protons, neutrons and electrons. The outer space around the nucleus where the probability of finding electrons is maximum is known as orbital. As the electrons are not precisely ordered around the nucleus hence it is not easy to tell the exact position of an electron.
Hence, four quantum numbers are used to locate the position of electrons around the nucleus.
i) Principle Quantum Number:
This number explains the main energy level which tend to increase in energy as the distance of electrons from nucleus are increased. Principle Quantum Numbers are integer number ranging from one to infinity. Hence, increase in this quantum number results in increase of the size of orbital.
ii) Azimuthal Quantum Number:
This Quantum Number explains the direction of particular orbital in 3-dimensional space. Also it is responsible for the shape of an orbital.
iii) Magnetic Quantum Number:
This Quantum Number also tells the direction of orbital in 3D space with respect to x, y and z axis.
iv) Spin Quantum Number:
This Quantum Number tells about the spin direction of an electron about its axis which may be clockwise or anticlockwise.
Answer:
Covalent bonding
Explanation:
Sulfur Dioxide is a process of covalent bonding, since Sulfur and Oxygen are both non-metals. The Sulfur is in the center surrounded by 2 Oxygen atoms.
Chemical potential energy: chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, in a chemical reaction or phase transition
Gasoline used as kinetic energy: the various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car. The release of that energy does two things. Some of the potential energy is transformed into work, which is used to move the car
Dynamite used as kinetic energy: the dynamite being used was most likely made of nitroglycerin. Once the dynamite explodes from a percussion force (then breaking of weak bonds to releasing the raw atom) the energy is then converted to thermal, kinetic, and sound energy.
The answer is the option d. metabolism.
Metabolism is the set of the chemical reactions that happens in the organism to transform nutrients (food) in energy and the products that conform the cells and all the constituents of the body.
