Carbon has an ability of catenation which other group IV elements lack.

Explanation:

Catenation is the ability for an element to form multiple bonds with other elements leading rise to long chains of compounds.

An example is organic compounds.

calculate the speed of an electron if its de broglie wavelength is twice its displacement in one second

valkas [14]

Answer:

The speed of an electron is 0.01908 m/s.

Explanation:

De-Broglie wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}$

where, $\lambda$ = wavelength of a particle

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}Js$

m = mass of particle

v = velocity of the particle

Velocity of an electron = v

Mass of an electron = $9.1\times 10^{-31}kg$

Wavelength of electron is twice the displacement in seconds which is velocity of an electron.

Then.wavelength of an electron = $\lambda =2v$

$\lambda =2v=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}{9.1\times 10^{-31}kg\times v}$

v = 0.01908 m/s

The speed of an electron is 0.01908 m/s.
