Which characteristic is given by the angular momentum quantum number

Marianna [84]

Answer: orbital shape.

Justification:

1) There are four quantum numbers to describe the electrons. These are:

i) Principal quantum number (n)

ii) Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ), also called angular momentum quantum number.

iii) Magnetic quantum number (m)

iv) Spin quantum number (s)

2) The principal quantum number tells the main energy level. It can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. It is related with the orbial size. 1 is a small orbital, 7 is a big orbital.

2) The Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ) or angular momentum quantum number may be a number between 0 and n - 1.

It tells the kind of orbital, which is its shape

The correspondence is:

0 = s orbital,

1 = p orbital,

2 = d orbital,

3 = f orbital.

3) Magnetic quantum number (m) tells the orientation. It can be from - ℓ to + ℓ

For example when ℓ = 1, the orbital is p, and the magnetic quantum number may be -1, 0, or +1, which correspond to px, py, pz: the orientation of the p orbital in the space.

4) Spin quantum number (s) can be either +1/2 or -1/2.

The Society of Automotive Engineers has established an accepted numerical scale to measure the viscosity of motor oil. For examp

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Most viscous to least viscous: $(c)> (b)> (a)$

Explanation:

For hydrocarbons, viscosity increases with increasing molar mass. Because increasing molar mass signifies increase in number of electrons in molecules.

We know that in non-polar hydrocarbons, only van der waal intermolecular force exists. Van der waal force is proportional to number of electrons in a molecule.

Therefore with increasing molar mass, van der waal force increases. hence molecules gets more tightly bind with each other resulting increase in viscosity.

Here molar mass order : $(c)> (b)> (a)$

Therefore viscosity order : $(c)> (b)> (a)$

When the following oxidation–reduction reaction in acidic solution is balanced, what is the lowest whole-number coefficient for

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

c. 8, product side

Explanation:

In order to balance a redox reaction we use the ion-electron method, which has the following steps:

Step 1: identify oxidation and reduction half-reaction.

Oxidation: MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq)

Reduction: Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l)

Step 2: perform the mass balance adding H⁺ and H₂O where necessary

8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l)

Step 3: perform the electrical balance adding electrons where necessary.

8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l) + 2 e⁻

Step 4: multiply both half-reactions by numbers that secure that the number of electrons gained and lost are the same.

2 × (8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l))

5 × (2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l) + 2 e⁻)

Step 5: add both half-reactions side to side.

16 H⁺(aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 10 e⁻ + 10 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 Br₂(l) + 10 e⁻

16 H⁺(aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 10 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 Br₂(l)
