What are the principle elements in a hydrocarbon?
hydrogen and carbon (either order)
100
Bohr's contribution to the model of the atom (hydrogen) takes an older idea, and combines with another one, an energy idea. Who is responsible for this energy idea, and what is this unit of energy called?
Planck came up with the idea that energy must come in "quanta" or packettes.

There is a struggle or strife between two thermodynamic forces or tendencies in nature which drive all chemical processes? Describe in very few words these two "forces" or tendencies.
the strive to maximize randomness or entropy and minimalize enthalpy.

The photoelectric effect involves shining light or radiant energy on a metal surface. What is emitted or released?
Electrons are released....a beam of electrons.
400
How would the ka of strong acid compare the ka of a weak acid?
A strong acid would have a much larger ka.
400
We have long heard that metals and non metals typically make ionic bonds. What two elements, in chemically combining, would MOST likely be very exothermic and produce the "best" ionic bond?
lithium and fluorine
