Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?

Physics

They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

A mole of red photons of wavelength 725 nm has ________ kj of energy.
yuradex [85]
According to the general rules and basic knowledge of physics, without any doubds I can say that a mole of red photons of wavelength 725 nm has  [D] 165 kj of energy. I converted <span> a wavelength into energy in that way : 
</span>(E)= 6.023 x 10 ^23 x 6.625 x 10 ^ -34 x3 x 10^8/725x10^-9==0.1651 x10 ^ 6 J = 165 Kj.<span>

Which of the following is true for valence electrons?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

<u>Valence electrons are always located in the outer most energy level.</u>

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the ones that are involved in chemical bonds. In order to take part in a chemical bonding, the outermost/valence electron needs to be involved. Thus, the answer is <u>Valence electrons are always located in the outer most energy level.</u>

Find the acute angles between the curves at their points of intersection. (The angle between two curves is the angle between the
ladessa [460]

Answer:

1.190390345 degrees.

Explanation:

As stated in the problem that the angle between the two curves is also the angle between slopes of the two cures at the point of intersection, which is 1 (when we set two equation equal and solve for x).

We know, if you don't  you could verify it for yourself and it will be a nice mathematical exercise for you, that when there are two lines with slopes m_1 and m_2 then the angle between them and their two slopes has following relationship.

tan(\alpha ) = |\frac{m_2-m_1}{1+m_1m_2}|   where \alpha is angle between the two lines.

As it is clear that we can easily get the angle between the two curves if we know slopes at that point, which you will see in second is very straight forward to calculate.

Slopes are simply derivatives evaluated at the point of intersection and the two derivatives are D_1 16x and D_2 =24x^2, substituting x =1 we get, m_1 = 16 and m_2 = 24.

Now put m_1 and m_2 in this relationship, rearrange and solve for angle, it will come out to be

\alpha = 1.190390345 degrees.

that is our angle that we want to know between the two cures at the point of their intersection.

What produces an electromagnetic wave?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Let's rule out some of the options. C makes no sense because static charges will create electric fields only, so the charge has to move. D makes no sense because monopoles do not exist. We can rule out B because when a charge is moving at a constant velocity. You can use Maxwell's equations and general relativity to figure out that at a constant velocity, you can't produce an electromagnetic wave because there is no magnetic field. Therefore the answer is A. When you have an oscillating or accelerating electric charge, you will produce an EM wave.
