Answer:

When we say "chlorine wants to gain one electron", we speak of the radical atom. Chlorine as a free radical, Cl⋅ , is the chlorine atom that we say has 7 valence electrons and wants its 8th to form an octet. So, Cl⋅ , chlorine radical, is less stable, and Cl− , chlorine ion, is more stable

Use the particle theory to explain,liquid to soild process

hjlf

The liquid to solid process using the particle theory is as below

The process that involve change of liquid to solid is known as Freezing
It involve change from a high energy state to lower energy

The constant temperature at which a liquid change to solid by giving out heat energy is called freezing point of the liquid
when liquid are cooled the thermal energy of particles decrease.
The cohesive forces between the particles strengthen to such extent that particles can have relative motion with each other and they occupy the fixed position, thus liquid is converted to solid

What is the energy in joules of one photon of microwaveradiation with a wavelength 0.122m?

pentagon [3]

Answer: The energy of photon is $162.93\times 10^{-26}J$

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of the light = ?

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

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength of photon = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{(6.626\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{0.122m}\\\\E=162.93\times 10^{-26}J$

Hence, the energy of photon is $162.93\times 10^{-26}J$
