to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Carbon naturally occurs in two forms: diamond and graphite. Why do these two forms have very different properties?
The key difference is that diamonds have other elements bonded within their structure.
The differences are explained by the number of covalent and ionic bonds within each substance.
The differences are explained by the density: graphite is very high and diamond is much lower.
The differences are explained by how the carbon atoms within each substance are covalently bonded together.
Photoelectron spectroscopy applies the principle of the photoelectric effect to study orbital energies of atoms and mol ecules. High-energy radiation (usually UV or x-ray) is absorbed by a sample and an electron is ejected. The orbital energy can be calculated from the known energy of the radiation and the mea sured energy of the electron lost. The following energy differences were determined for several electron transitions:
∆E2→1 = 4.098x10-17 J ∆E3→£1 = 4.854x10-17 J ∆E5→1 = 5.242x10-17 J ∆E4→2 = 1.024x10-17 J Calculate ∆E and l of a photon emitted in the following transitions:
(a) level 3 → 2; (b) level 4 → 1; (c) level 5→4.
