Electronegativity and element identification
As part of the exploration of one of the moons of Jupiter, a probe digs under the surface, where it finds a pocket of gas. It starts to do some on-board experimentation. The data stored in the probe's computer include the following table of Mulliken electronegativity values of gases. Element...- plstevens

What is the value of n for the level in which the electron originated?
Thank you so much, but i have one question: when u did 114*10^12 was that showing the conversion factor from THz to Hz?- plstevens

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and bacteria
A student is examining a bacterium under the microscope. The bacterial cell has a mass of 0.200 (a femtogram is 10^-15) and is swimming at 4.00 microns per second, with an uncertainty in the speed of 5.00%. E.coli bacterial cells are around 1 micron, or 10^-6 meters in length. The student is...- plstevens

How Fast is an Electron Moving Relative to the Speed of Light?
so hows do i get the percentage here's what I'm doing: 3.00*10^8 m/s /100 = 0.00732/x. x=2.4*10^8, but i know this isn't right so, what shall i do?- plstevens

How Fast is an Electron Moving Relative to the Speed of Light?
The mass of an electron is 9.11*10^-31 kg. If the de Broglie wavelength for an electron in an hydrogen atom is 3.31*10^-10 m, how fast is the electron moving relative to the speed of light? The speed of light is 3.00*10^8 m/s. here's what I did: i solved for...- plstevens
