    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...

    What is the value of n for the level in which the electron originated?

    also in the first step, how did u convert from J to eV? And where did delta E come from?

    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?

    The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and bacteria

    ok, is this how i should set this equation up? (4*10^-6)(2*10^-15)(5.00%)>=h/4(phi)

    What is the value of n for the level in which the electron originated?

    An electron in a hydrogen atom relaxes to the n= 4 level, emitting light of 114THz.

    The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and bacteria

    I do know that the standard rule is to show an attempt but there is no examples in my textbook. So, if someone could help me that would be greatly appreciated.

    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...

    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?

    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...
