Answer:
Option B will require a shorter wave length of light.
Explanation:
The bonding between Ozone (O3) and Oxygen (O2) can be used to explain why the breaking of oxygen into Oxygen radicals will require a shorter wave length.
- The bond between Oxygen (O2) is a double bond while Ozone (O3) has an intermediate bond between a double bond and a single bond.
- The bond order of Oxygen (O2) is equals 2 while that of Ozone (O3) is 1.5. Since the bond order of oxygen is higher, it will require more energy to break the bond compared to breaking the Ozone (O3) bond.
- Recall that Energy is inversely proportional to wave length.
- So it will require a shorter wave length to break the Oxygen (O2) into its radicals.
SiO2 is the only possible choice because the other formulas contain metals. how do we know this? because the other formulas contain elements located on the left of the “staircase” on the periodic table that separates metals from non-metals.
Answer:
They are classified as METALS.
Explanation:
Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:
- metals
- non metals and
- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).
METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:
- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.
- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.
- They react and form Basic Compounds
- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.
- Melting Point: they have high melting points.
