Nitrous oxide (N2O), more commonly known as laughing gas, is used as a mild sedatitive during various dental procedures. As a gas, it has a densityof 1.977 x 10-3g/mL. Wheniron is exposed to oxygen it forms rust (Fe2O3), which is a solid and has a density value of 5.25 g/mL. Why are the density values so different among these substances? a)The metal atoms weigh more than the atoms of the gas.
b)The metal forms metallic bonds which are more greatly affected by gravity, increasing the mass.
c)The metal is a solid, and solids weigh more based on the principles of their states of matter.
d)There are fewer gas particles than solid particles in the same volume.

The human eye contains a molecule called 11-cis-retinal that changes shape when struck with light of sufficient energy. the change in shape triggers a series of events that results in an electrical signal being sent to the brain that results in vision. the minimum energy required to change the conformation of 11-cis-retinal within the eye is about 164 kj/mol.
