The atom<span> then has more protons than electrons and so it will be positively charged, a positive </span>ion<span>. Example: A </span>magnesium atom<span> may lose two electrons and </span>become<span> a Mg2+ </span>ion<span>. Non-metal </span>atoms<span> may gain electrons and </span>become<span> negatively charged. ... (It loses two electrons.)</span>

H2(g) +C2H4(g)→C2H6(g)
H-H +H2C =CH2→H3C-Ch3
2C -H bonds and one C-C bond are formed while enthalpy change (dH) of the reaction,
H-H: 432kJ/mol
C=C: 614kJ/mol
C-C: 413 kJ/mol
C-C: 347 kJ/mol
dH is equal to sum of the energies released during the formation of new bonds or negative sign, and sum of energies required to break old bonds or positive sign.
The bond which breaks energy is positive.
432+614 =1046kJ/mol
Formation of bond energy is negative
2(413) + 347 = 1173 kJ/mol
dH reaction is -1173 + 1046 =-127kJ/mol

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Question 5 options: The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same
amm1812

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

a) The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same and can be used to identify the element: It's true since the emission spectrum for each element is unique. It has the same bright lines at the same wavelength. This feature is used to identify elements. For example, the study of the emission spectra of light arriving from stars allow us to identify the elements presents in the star because the light contains the emission spectra of those elements.

b)The uncertainty principle states that we can never know both the exact location and speed of an electron:  It is true since the velocity of an electron is related to its wave nature, while its position is related to its particle nature and we cannot simultaneously measure electron's position and velocity with precision.

c) An orbital is the volume in which we are most likely to find an electron: An orbital is a probability distribution map that is used to decribe the likely position of an electron in an atom.
