Explanation:
Electron affinity is the energy released when an extra electron is added to a neutral gaseous atom. A negative value of electron affinity indicates that energy is given out and vice versa.
Metals have positive electron affinity since electrons rarely accept electrons, so;
Na(g)+ 1e^- → Na^-(g) positive
Mg(g)+1e^- → Mg^-(g) positive
For the last case; Br(g)+ 1e^- → Br^-(g), the electron affinity for the non-metals is negative. hence the answer
For a closed system, you need two things:
1) a conservation of mass within the boundaries of the system
2) the ability to freely exchange energy to & from the "closed" system with a surrounding external system
So, the answer is <u><em>never</em></u>, since your defining the "system" as the water within the bathtub, and an open bathtub is exposed to evaporation, which is not conserving mass within the defined "system".
Answer:
It's false.
Explanation:
Molecular orbital theory states that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that overlap. The lowest energy molecular orbital is formed when two atomic orbitals that are in phase overlap, forming a bonding molecular orbital. However, another molecular orbital is also formed, called an anti-binding orbital.
So if an "n" quantity of atomic orbitals is combined, an "n" quantity of molecular orbitals is formed.
Have a nice day!
