Explain what is meant by the term 鈥渆xcited state鈥 as it applies to an electron. Is an electron in an excited state higher or lower in energy than an electron in the ground state? Is an electron in an excited state more or less stable than an electron in the ground state?
Mars is roughly 60 million km from Earth. How long does it take for a radio signal originating from Earth to reach Mars?
X rays have wavelengths on the order of \(1 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m} .\) Calcu- late the energy of \(1.0 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{m} \mathrm{X}\) rays in units of kilojoules per mole of \(\mathrm{X}\) rays. AM radio waves have wavelengths on the order of \(1 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{m}\) . Calculate the energy of \(1.0 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{m}\) radio waves in units of kilojoules per mole of radio waves. Consider that the bond energy of a carbon-carbon single bond found in organic compounds is 347 \(\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\) . Would \(\mathrm{x}\) rays and/or radio waves be able to disrupt organic compounds by breaking carbon-carbon single bonds?
