Answer: There is a single covalent bond in a chlorine molecule.

Explanation: The chlorine molecule is represented as Cl−Cl, i.e. C

l2. Between the chlorine atoms, 2 electrons overlap to form a region of high electron density to which the positively charged chlorine nuclei are attracted, such that internuclear repulsion is negated and a net attractive force results. Because the bonding electrons are shared between the nuclei, we conceive that each atom has 8 valence electrons.

Of course, on reaction with sodium, the sodium reduces the chlorine molecule to give 2×Cl−. The resultant bond between Na+ and Cl−is ionic and a non-molecular substance results.

Answer: Moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, $CH_{4}$ .

Explanation:

Given: Mass of methane = 146.6 g

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, moles of methane (molar mass = 16.04 g/mol) are calculated as follows.

$Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\= \frac{146.6 g}{16.04 g/mol}\\= 9.14 mol$

The given reaction equation is as follows.

$C + 2H_{2} \rightarrow CH_{4}$

This shows that 2 moles of hydrogen gives 1 mole of methane. Hence, moles of hydrogen required to form 9.14 moles of methane is as follows.

$Moles of H_{2} = \frac{9.14}{2}\\= 4.57 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that moles of hydrogen required are 4.57 moles to make 146.6 grams of methane, $CH_{4}$ .

Answer:PLEASE MARK BRAINIEST

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. Today, this process uses instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element — and combination of elements — has a unique fingerprint that astronomers can look for in the spectrum of a given object. Identifying those fingerprints allows researchers to determine what it is made of.

That fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy configuration. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can boost it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths (i.e., energies) related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.
