I have seen the frequency of the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom as 6.58 x 10^15 Hz, however I have never been able to find the ground state frequency of the electron in the hydrogen molecular ion (H+). The equilibrium separation of the two protons is given as twice the Bohr...

I have a couple of different lithium ion battery packs. On one pack charging current reads 0.1 amps, and on the other 1.5 amps. I already charged the 0.1 amp pack with 0.1 amps, and seems to be working. Now, I'm sort of weary charging the other pack with 1.5 amps. Doesn't that seem too much...

The dipole moment of the water molecule ({\rm H}_{2}{\rm O}) is 6.17 \times 10^{-30}\;{\rm C \cdot m}. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p_vec points in the positive x direction. A chlorine ion ({\rm Cl}^{-}), of charge -1.60 \times 10^{-19}\;{\rm C}, is located...

fajans rule?? hey can anyone help me with fajans rule? after the emission of alpha rays from a radioactive substance the product remaining has a valency of 2. after the emission of beta rays it has a valency increase of 1. so the ionic depletion changes the valency. thus meaning reducing the...

Does anyone know why we prepare F- containing solutions with plastic beakers and cups instead of the regular glass beakers before measuring the responses with F- ion selective electrode Is it because F- in corrosive? where can i find infomation on this? Thanks a lot~

Hello, I'm a medical student and a few days ago a rather interesting question arose when I was doing some research. The gist of the problem is estimating how dissolved ions in a solution will distribute themselves when an external electric field is applied. Now I had basic physics and...

I need to calibrate ion flow chambre,dont know exactly how. I don't know also how to relate Bq/m3 to doserate mSv/h. Are there any doserate limits,instructions suggest that there are.

Hello, I have been searching for sites recently on complex ion chemistry and I have found a few good hits, but sometimes it seems the authors are vague as to the actual complex formed, and which complex actually causes the color change. For example for NH3 mixed with Copper 2, one source...

Homework Statement What is the solubility of Mg(OH)2 in a solution buffered at pH 8.80.Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution The answer is .45 M or 26 g/L but I can't get that for some reason. I can find the concentration of hydroxide [OH-] = 6.3 x 10-6 Mg(OH)2 -> Mg+2 + 2OH-...

Like this one: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G9695 I understand that it uses some sort of "needle assembly," and electric fields are stronger at sharp points in a conductor and then will ionize the surrounding air at a certain potential. But how exactly are the...

I'm fairly familiar with the design and operation of an ion engine, although I do have a two questions in regard to its operation. 1) Normally, an ion engine would be used in space (which is naturally a vacuum) and would output its given thrust. Prior to space flight, is there a need to...

Question: State the hybridization used and the molecular geometry shape of hydroxide ion, OH-. Okay, so I draw out the Lewis structure, where there are 6 electrons (3 lone pairs) around the O atom, which is bonded to the H atom. So, I think base on the 3 nonbonding domains and 1 bonding...

Titanium 2+ Ion. Is it [Ar]3d^04s^2 or [Ar]3d^24s^0 I'd assume it's the former (looks more energy efficient).

I know what the formal definition of ph is, and I am comfortable with logarithms, anti-logs, and the laws of exponents. Still, I get confused doing actual calculations and would greatly appreciate your input on the following: Suppose something has a ph of 3.5-How do you calculate the hydrogen...

How is this microscope going to be way way better than the electron microscope? Does anyone know the significance of this piece of equipment? Website links would also be nice... thanks

i have had an idea for a few years and am finally starting to go forward with it.. i need to know if it is possible to build an ion propulsion unit at home. being that it is on the Earth and not in space does it need a defuser? can it be made to run on 110v? i don't need it huge to start. i just...

wish for "simple + beginner" explanation for atom, ion and particles and their relationship. thank you.

I'm trying to find the mass of an unknown ion and I think the equation I'm down to to find the mass only requires me to determine the velocity before I can calculate mass -- but I don't know how. Could anyone help me out and direct me to an equation(s) that would help me find the velocity of...

Question goes as follows: "In an ionised gas there are positive ions and electrones moving around in collision with molecules of the gas. Calculate the ratio of the mean free path of the electrons in the gas to the mean free path of the positive ions in the gas." As far as I can see I...

I'm trying to understand the nucleophilicity of alkynes, my book lists the pKa's of acetylene (HCCH), ethylene (CH2CH2), and methane (CH3CH3) as 25, 44, and 50 respectively. This leads to the conclusion that HCCH -acetylene- is the strongest acid and hence the weakest base. The book then goes...

Hi, I have yet another problem with this diffraction thing. I have little clue on these questions: e) The radius of the O^2- ion is assumed to be 0.126 nm. By x-ray diffraction experiments the dimensions of the unit cells for MgO, CaO, SrO and BaO has been determined to be 0.4213 nm...

Currently in my Chemsitry class we are reviewing these ions. Since these ions are formed of perfectly neutral elements, how can they have a charge as a whole. My teacher told me these charges in the anions can be attributed to an incomplete oxygen bond such as the negative 2 charge in carbonate(...

When I stick some Copper (II) Sulfate * Pentahyrate into the blue flame of my butane torch, it turns green. When I crush the tiny CuSO4 crystals up into a finer powder and mix them with a mixture of KClO3 and Sugar, then light that on fire, I get a very blue flame. What is happening here? I...

How would one test distilled water for sulfate ions?

Why is Mn^+ more paramagnetic than N,S,Fe^+,Cr^{+2} I guess the answer would be "because it has 6 unpaired electrons" but why is that? How could I tell in advance that the one electron removed from Mn was the paired one in 4s orbital and not one of the unpaired in 3d? The Energy of 3d is...

I don't know much about science, but I got a problem on my math homework that says "find the total charge. then decide whether you have an atom or an ion". Sodium:Electrons-10 Protons-11 Total Charge-? Atom or Ion?-? Sodium:Electrons-11...

Mercury can form Hg2+2 and Hg+2 ions. Why does mercury form Hg2+2? Are there any other "diatomic ions" like this? I assume this has to do with atomic size, but why don't zinc and cadmium behave like this? They only form Zn+2 and Cd+2.

Ok, an ion experiences a magnetic force of 6.2X10^-16 N when moving in the positive x direction, but no force when moving in the positive y direction. What is the magnitude of magnetic force exerted on the ion when it moves in the x-y plane along the line x=y? Assume the ions speed is the same...

Measurements with microelectrodes have shown that a 0.30-nm-diameter potassium ion (K+) channel carries a current of 1.8 pA. How many potassium ions pass through if the ion channel opens for 1.0 ms? What is the current density in the ion channel? I am completely lost for this one...

I know that Einstein dedicated the end of his life working on this topic. Do anybody knows what exactly did his theory was about, and if it is connected somehow with modern unified therories? Thanks.

Hey ppl, I was wondering, with a singly ionised He atom, can we apply the Bohr model, eg E = 13.6eV/n^2, to find the energy of the excited states? How would i go about that?

I understand that with an ionic acid (when in solution), either the +ve ion OR the -ve ion can be the proton donor. Are there any ways to tell which ion does the donating by just looking at the chemical structure of the acid? I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the direction of an...
