Energy levels are the electron shells where electrons are found at a fixed distance from the nucleus of the atom. The atom could emit 6 different wavelengths.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

A wavelength is a distance between the adjacent crests in wave signals propagated in a system. Wavelength (\rm \lambda ) is in inverse relation to the frequency of the wave.

When an electron jumps from energy level 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4 one wavelength each is present. Hence, making the total wavelength to be 3, in transition from the first energy level.

Similarly, from energy levels, 2 to 3 and 2 to 4, a total of 2 wavelengths, and from energy levels 3 to 4 one wavelength is produced.

So the total different wavelengths of the radiation that can be emitted will be 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, 6 different wavelengths of radiation will be emitted by the atom.

State briefly the similarities and differences between the theories of Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry
ludmilkaskok [199]
My answer to the question above is not the best example but I hope it will help you. <span>The Arrhenius model says that acids always contain H+ and that bases always contain OH-. </span>
<span>The Bronsted-Lowry model thinks of acids as being proton donors and proton acceptors, so bases no longer need to contain OH-, and acids donate a proton to water forming H3O+. </span>
<span>Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, and Lewis bases are electron pair donors. For instance, H+ + OH- => H20. H+ has no electrons, so when it bonds to the Oxygen, it gains an electron pair. OH- "loses" an electron pair.</span>

Calcium hydroxide has the formula Ca(OH)2.
cricket20 [7]
Think of it this way: it is a distribution problem in which you are multiplying the 2 on the outside with each element in the parentheses. Oxygen does not have a number in front of it, so put an imaginary one in front of it to help you. Do the same with Hydrogen since it doesn't have a number in front of it either. Now you know that hydrogen has one ion and oxygen has one... but you must now multiply each of the elements' ions by two. You should now know that Oxygen has 2 ions in Calcium Hydroxide and that there are also 2 ions of Hydrogen in Calcium Hydroxide. Does this make sense?

<h3><u>Explanation; </u></h3>
  • Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity.
  • Nuclear reactions are used to release nuclear energy that generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.
  • Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Nuclear energy may be used in a wide variety of fields as it generates high levels of electricity without causing damage to our environment and atmosphere.
