Fission reactions generate thermal energy
Answer:
B) diffraction
Explanation:
A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.
Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.
Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.
Answer:
Because a molecule, by definition, has a valence of zero
(neutral charge, stable). Also by definition, an ion has a positive
or negative charge or valence and is not stable.
Explanation:
Answer:
It would increase the final quantity of products
Explanation:
According to the Le- Chatelier principle,
At equilibrium state when stress is applied to the system, the system will behave in such a way to nullify the stress.
The equilibrium can be disturb,
By changing the concentration
By changing the volume
By changing the pressure
By changing the temperature
Consider the following chemical reaction.
Chemical reaction:
2NO₂ ⇄ N₂O₄
In this reaction the equilibrium is disturb by increasing the concentration of reactant.
When the concentration of reactant is increased the system will proceed in forward direction in order to regain the equilibrium. Because when reactant concentration is high it means reaction is not on equilibrium state. As the concentration of NO₂ increased the reaction proceed in forward direction to regain the equilibrium state and more product is formed.
Answer:
atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons
Explanation:
The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.
The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.
For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.
