Which element, Xenon or Lithium, has a full outer shell of electrons?
Xenon; it is a noble gas, group 18
Which has the highest electronegativity, Neon or Oxygen?
Oxygen. Reason: Neon is a noble gas and thus has 0 electronegativity.
Which has the highest ionization energy, Mg or Sr?
Mg Ionization decreases as it goes down the group.
Which has a smaller atomic radius, Ag or Xe?
Xe Atomic radius decreases across the period from left to right.
Which has a smaller ionic radius, Li or Li+?
Li+
Which has a smaller ionic radius, F or F-?
F

gamma rays
What is the order of visible light from lowest to highest frequency?
ROY G BV red orange yellow green blue violet
Element X has many of the same physical and chemical properties as Mg and Sr but has a lower atomic mass? Is it Na or Be?
Be
Elements in the same _____ have chemical properties that are the most similar.
group
Which element (Co or Cd) has 10 electrons in the d orbital?
Cd
What is the frequency of light with a wavelength of 2.00 x 10⁻⁸m?
speed of light /wavelength = frequency (3.00x10⁸m/s)/(2.00x10⁻⁸m)= 1.50x10¹⁶Hz
What is the wavelength in m of a photon that has an energy of 2.2 x 10⁻²⁰J?
(Plancks constant)(speed of lite)/Energy=wavelength (6.63x10⁻³⁴Js)(3.0x10⁸m/s)/(2.2x10⁻²⁰J)=9.0x10⁻⁶m
What is the frequency of a photon with energy of 2.0x10⁻²⁵J?
(energy)/(Plancks constant)=frequency (2.0x10⁻²⁵J)/(6.63x10⁻³⁴Js)=3.0x10⁸Hz
Find the energy of a photon with a frequency of 5.0x10¹⁴Hz.
(Planck’s constant)(frequency)=energy (6.63x10⁻³⁴Js)(5.0x10¹⁴Hz) = 3.3x10⁻¹⁹J
Find the frequency of a photon with a wavelength of 5.0x10⁻⁷m.
(speed of light)/(wavelength)=frequency (3.0x10⁸m/s)/(5.0x10⁻⁷m)=6.0x10¹⁴Hz
Label a wave with trough, crest, wavelength. and amplitude.
