How molecular ion is formed?

A molecular ion is formed when a molecule gains or loses an electron, resulting in an ion with a net positive or negative charge. This can occur through processes such as electron impact ionization, chemical ionization, or electrospray ionization in mass spectrometry. The resulting molecular ion retains the same chemical formula as the neutral molecule but has a different charge.


What chemical energy form from electron flow?

Well, Chemical energy is not formed by the flow of electron. The flow of electrons is responsible for the generation of electricity. It is not possible to store electrical energy in its original form. So this electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical energy in case of a battery (Electrical energy is stored in the chemicals of a battery thus converting into chemical energy.) Therefore, Electron flow generates only electricity and no chemical energy is formed.


What happens when a hydrogen atom absorbs a quantum of energy?

Depends on the energy of the photon. If the energy of the photon is less than the energy of ionization of the hydrogen - energy required to expell the electron from the nucleus force field - then the electron will just get more energetic and go to an orbital further from the nucleus. If the energy of the photon is higher than the energy of ionization of the hydrogen, then the electron will be expelled, and the hydrogen will become an ion - H+.


What is positive ionization?

a process where in positive ions are formed. Here, the electrons orbiting the outer-most shell of an atom are knocked out, resulting in the atom having more protons than electrons. This creates a positive ion.


What are the difference between energy levels and energy states?

These terms are used to describe quantum particles like atoms. Energy level and energy state are used interchangeably, however, specifically energy level is used to describe physically where an electron is located in an atom and energy state describes the definite activity of the electron. Since the activity of an electron will dictate its location, this is where the terms become to mean nearly the same thing.

What is one possible molecule formed by photo ionization?

One possible molecule formed by photoionization is a molecular ion, such as H2+ (hydrogen ion). This process occurs when a molecule absorbs a photon with enough energy to remove an electron, resulting in the formation of a positively charged ion.

How is light formed in terms of energy levels?

Light is formed when an electron in an atom moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. This movement of the electron releases energy in the form of photons, which are what we perceive as light. The energy of the photon is directly related to the difference in energy between the two levels the electron transitions between.

Why is electron affinity expressed as a negative number while the ionization energy has a positive number in calculating the energy of ion pair formation?

when dealing with atomic chemistry in most cases a negative number indicate the gaining of at least one electron and a positive number indicate the loss of an electron. the definition of electron affinity in a nutshell is the ENERGY required to add an electron to in most cases the outermost shell, so the more electron you trying to add the higher the nergy and the more negative the number would be which would represent the amount of electron added eg.. if i want to add let say 2e- to a oxygen atom then the result would be O(g) + 2e- = O2-(g) also you can see that an anion is formed. on the other hand ionization energy is the somewhat the opposite, it is the removal of the most loosely held electron from a atom in the GASEOUS state forming cation in the end. eg.. Na(g) = Na+(g) + e- . Note that while ionization MUST be in the GASEOUS state electron affinity not necessarily have to. So dont used both terms as positive or negative loosely like that its just an indication of telling us what is going on whether the atom is loosing or gaining electron/s. hope this helps .


How many electrons are there in potassium's outer energy level after the bond has formed?

Potassium has 1 electron in its outer energy level. When it forms a bond, it typically donates this electron to another element, leaving it with a full outer energy level.

Does a atom gain mass during ionization?

When an element loses an electron(s) to form a cation there is a very very small decrease in mass When an anion is formed by gaining electron(s) there is a very small increase. A proton weighs roughly the same as a neutron and these are nearly 2000X the mass of an electron.


How is an electron formed from energy quanta?

Electrons are not formed from energy quanta; they are elementary particles that exist as fundamental units of matter. However, electrons can be created in processes such as beta decay, where a neutron transforms into a proton, electron, and an antineutrino. These processes involve the conversion of energy into matter, following the principles of quantum mechanics.
