Which statement correctly compares what occurs when molecules absorb photons in the microwave region with what occurs when molec

ules absorb photons in the infrared region?
a.) Microwave photons cause the molecules to increase their rotational energy states, whereas infrared photons cause the molecules to increase their vibrational energy states.
b.) Microwave photons cause electrons in the molecules to increase their electronic energy states, whereas infrared photons cause the molecules to increase their rotational energy states.
c.) Microwave photons cause the molecules to increase their vibrational energy states, whereas infrared photons cause electrons in the molecules to increase their electronic energy states.
d.) Microwave photons cause the molecules to increase their rotational energy states, whereas infrared photons cause electrons in the molecules to increase their electronic energy states.

Answer:

d.) Microwave photons cause the molecules to increase their rotational energy states, whereas infrared photons cause electrons in the molecules to increase their electronic energy states.

Explanation:

Microwave: transitions in the molecular rotational levels

Infrared: transitions in molecular vibrational levels

UV/Visible: transitions in electronic energy levels.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

increase in solvent temperature will increase the solubility of solid particle but decreases the solubility of gas particle.

Explanation:

In solid particle when temperature increases its help to break apart the solid particle and increase in kinetic energy of solvent results in increase in solubility of solid particles in solvent.

but in gas solute, increase in temperature of solvent causes the increase in motion of gas molecules means increase in kinetic energy of molecules in the gas which results in breakage of inter molecular bonds and removal of the molecules from the heated solution.

To what family of the periodic table does this new element probably belong
julsineya [31]
<span>Ionization energy (IE) is the amount of energy required to remove an electron. If you observe the IEs sequentially, there is a large gap between the 2nd and 3rd. This suggests it is difficult to remove more than 2 two electrons. Elements that lose two electrons to become more stable are found in the Group 2A (2 representing the number of electrons in the outermost valence shell).</span>
