    What is the Photoelectric Effect?

    Hi pugtm, Don't freak out if problems occasionally seem easy - sometimes they are! Knowing that h*c=1240 eV*nm, (1240 eV*nm)/(298 nm) = 4.2 eV Let's check this answer using a different method: So you know that the wavelength of an incident photon is 298 nm, and we can determine the...

    Explaining Why SnI4 Bonding is More Covalent Than SnF4

    Hi Miike, A covalent bond is one in which electrons are shared between two atoms. Fluorine is more electronegative than iodine, meaning that the Sn-F bond is more polar than the Sn-I bond. Because iodine does not pull on the electrons as strongly as fluorine does, the Sn-I bond has more...
