Answer:

The energy of an electron in the 8th shell is given by:  -0.2125 eV

The number of subshells is:  8

The number of orbitals is:  64

The number of electrons that fit on this shell is: 128

Explanation:

First, we find the energy of the electrons in the 8th shell. In order to do this, we recall that the energy of an electron (in the Hydrogen atom) whose principal number is n is given by:

E_{n}=-13.6\frac{1}{n^{2}}

Substituting n=8, we find that the energy is given by:

E_{8} = -13.6\frac{1}{8^{2}}=-0.2125

In order to find the number of subshells we recall that, for a given principal quantum number n, the possible values of the quantum number l, which corresponds to the number of subshells are:

0, 1, 2, ... , n-1

Since n = 8 in our problem, the possible values of l are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Therefore, the number of subshells are 8.

Now we continue with the number of orbitals. For every subshell l, we have 2l+1 possible values of m, which correspond to the orbitals. Since the possible values of l are: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, therefore, we have to perform the sum:

\sum_{l=0}^{7}(2l+1) = 8^2=64

And we can conclude that the number of orbitals is equal to 64.

Finally, we know that we can fit two electrons per orbital, therefore we can have 64*2 = 128 electrons in the shell corresponding to n=8.

The sound of a tuba is very low. Why?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

When you blow into a tuba the air vibrates very slowly.​

Explanation:

Tuba is a buzz instrument ie sound is produced in it with the help of lip vibration . It is the lowest pitched musical instrument in the brass family .

Due to absence of resonance in it , it produces music of lowest pitch , So when one blows into it the air column of the instrument vibrates very slowly producing low pitched sound.

A bag of cement has a mass of 62 g. What is the mass of the bag of cement in S.I. units (kg)?
NNADVOKAT [17]

The mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg) is equal to 0.062 kilograms.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Mass of cement = 62 grams.

To calculate the mass of this bag of cement in S.I. units (kg):

<h3>How to convert to S.I. units.</h3>

In Science, kilograms (kg) is the standard unit of measurement or S.I. units of the mass of a physical object. Thus, we would convert the value of the mass of this bag of cement in grams to kilograms (kg) as follows:

<u>Conversion:</u>

1000 grams = 1 kilograms.

62 grams = X kilograms.

Cross-multiplying, we have:

X = \frac{62}{1000}

X = 0.062 kilograms.
