How is energy involved in the breaking and forming of bonds between atoms?
One can think of the kinetic energy of a particular electron of an atom as an inverse function of its confinement. In other words, it is a lower energy state for an electron to be de-localized over a larger area. By forming a bond, an electron essentially occupies twice as much space as it did previously. This is lower energy.
What supplies the activation energy to light the candle?
Energy is never "used" it is always converted to another form of energy.Therefore, there must be different forms of energy which are:1. Chemical2. Electrical3. Elastic4. Nuclear5. Thermal6. Gravitational7. Kinetic8. Light(9. Sound)When a candle burns the chemical energy is converted into thermal or "heat" energy.
How is energy captured and stored?
The process of cellular respiration is what makes energy. ATP is made during this process, ATP is the main source of energy in the body. Energy isn't really stored in the body, it is just made when needed.
Where do plants get the energy to make food?
Photosynthesis is the act of trapping the light energy from the sun and turning it into chemical energy in the molecule starch. The energy it traps comes from high energy photons.
What is the name of heat energy that changes ice into water and water into steam?
Latent heat is the measurement of energy needed to change the state of a substance at its melting point or boiling point. The latent heat of fusion of water is the amount of energy needed to change a fixed amount of water from a solid to liquid at 0 degrees C. this works out to be more than 800KJ of heat energy. The latent heat of vaporization of water is the amount of energy needed to change a fixed amount of water from a liquid to a gas at 100 degrees C. this is more than 1200KJ of heat needed to be absorbed.
The amount of energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another is an?
The amount of energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another is called a quantum.
What is ionization energy needed for?
There is an attraction of the nucleus for electrons. This attractive force must be overcome to remove an electron. The energy to overcome this attraction and remove an electron from the atom is 'ionization energy'.
What energy is required to remove an electron from an atom?
The energy needed to remove an electron from an atom (in the gaseous state) is called the IONIZATION ENERGY.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photo-systems 2 absorb light?
Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.
What it ionization energy?
This is the energy needed to extract an electron from an atom in gaseous phase, to form a cation.
What best defines the ionization energy of an element?
The amount of energy needed to remove the outermost electron.
What is needed to excite electrons?
For example when the electron absorb energy.
What is the energy needed to remove an electron from a negative ion to form a neutral atom or molecule?
Ionization energy
Why are electron carriers needed for transporting electrons from one part of the chloroplast to another?
Light energy is captured. This energy is stored in ATP ans NADH
High energy electrons that move down the electron transport chain ultimately provide the energy needed to?
of course it is break glucose into pyruvic acid.
Bohr used the emission spectrum of hydrogen to support his idea that?
Each energy level corresponds to an exact amount of energy needed by the electron to orbit the nucleus. Transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level correspond to the difference in the energy needed for an electron to occupy those two energy levels. This difference creates the emission spectrum.
Why electron affinity of dinegative ion is endothermic?
Di-Negative atoms are already electron rich in nature. This causes electron affinity is less. Since energy is needed to introduce another electron into the atom the process is endothermic.
