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.

labwork [276]
Hi!

When titrating Calcium and Water solution, if there is some CaCO3 in the solution, the following reactions may occur in acid solution:

CaCO₃ + H⁺ → Ca⁺² + HCO₃⁻

HCO₃⁻ + H⁺ ↔ H₂CO₃ → CO₂ (g) + H₂O

The bubbles are from CO₂ that is being developed from an acidic solution of CaCO₃

Easons for the dense packing in metals <br>​
Firdavs [7]

Explanation:

Typically, only one element is present, so all atomic radii are the same. -Metallic bonding is not directional. -Nearest neighbor distances tend to be small in order to lower bond energy.

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

Most oxygen in our atmosphere _____. has two oxygen atoms has three oxygen atoms combines with carbon has a single oxygen atom
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

has Two oxygen atoms

Explanation:

Oxygen is a diatomic element hence exists as O2 for majority of its existence in our atmosphere. Although small portion does exist in form of O3 which protects earth from sun's harmful ray, the majority portion of oxygen has O2 which is the oxygen we breathe.
