Noble Gases (18): (Name all noble gases)
Paul [167]

Answer :

  • The Noble gasses are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn).
  • When air is cold, Oxygen liquefies first at -182^oC. N_2 liquefies at -195^oC. About 1% of the air is still gas composed of the noble gas Argon, Ar.
  • One noble gas was discovered on the sun. It’s spectrum was identify first. This is Helium, He.
  • One of noble gas is radioactive and seeps up your basement floors and walls. It is Radon, Rn.
  • This noble gas is used in electronic flashes and other bright lights. It is Xenon, Xe.
  • This noble gas is best known for its orange color in gas discharge tubes. It is used for signs that bear its name. It is Neon, Ne.

What do all atoms of the same element have
nordsb [41]

Answer:

All atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons.

Explanation:

Atoms of the same element have always have the same amount of protons but not always the same electrons and neutrons. If an atom gains or loses one of its valance electrons, the electrons on the outermost shell, then it becomes ionized. Also not all atoms of the same element have the same amount of neutron. This is called an isotope. A good example would be Carbon 13. Normally, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 12 AMU or 12 atomic mass units. However, Carbon atoms have an atomic mass of 13 AMU, consisting of 7 neutrons instead of 6 neutrons. So the only thing that all atoms of the same element have in common is the amount of protons.

What is the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons when cesium is exposed to UV rays of frequency 1.0×1015Hz?
Anvisha [2.4K]
In order to emit electrons, the cesium will have to absorb photons. Each photon will knock out one electron by transferring its energy to the electron. Therefore, by the principle of energy conservation, the energy of the removed electron will be equal to the energy of the incident photon. That energy is calculated using Planck's equation:

E = hf

E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ * 1 x 10¹⁵
E =  6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules

The electron will have 6.63 x 10⁻¹⁹ Joules of kinetic energy
