Electrons are orbiting around the nucleus in a specific energy level as described in Bohr's atomic model. There are 7 energy levels all in all; 1 being the strongest and nearest to the nucleus, and 7 being the weakest and farthest away from the nucleus. Electron can transfer from one energy level to another. If it increases energy, it absorbs energy. If it goes down an energy level, it emits energy in the form of light. This light can be measure in wavelength through the Rydberg equation:

1/λ =R(1/n₁² -1/n₂²), where
λ is the wavelength
R is the Rydberg constant equal to 1.097 × 10⁻7<span> per meter
n</span>₁ and n₂ are the energy levels such that n₂>n₁

In the Paschen series is an emission spectrum of hydrogen when the energy level is at least n=4. So, this covers n=4 to n=7.

1/λ =(1.097 × 10⁻7)(1/4² -1/7²)
λ  = 216.57 ×10⁻⁶ m or 216.57 μm

Where does the energy water uses to create ice go?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

he free energy goes down as the water freezes. Here are the important terms: The energy of the interactions between the water molecules goes down as they line up in the stable ice positions. This lost energy flows out into the environment as heat, increasing the entropy of

Explanation:When the water temperature reaches around 0°C, the molecules stick together and form a solid – ice. ... As the liquid cools down, the amount of potential energy is reduced and the molecules start to move slower. When the water temperature reaches around 0°C, the molecules stick together and form a solid – ice

How many total atoms are in 0.560 g of P2O5
ioda

Answer:

16.499 × 10∧ 21 atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

mass of P2O5= 0.560 g

number of atoms= ?

first of all we will calculate the molar mass of P2O5:

P = 2×31 g/mol = 62 g/mol

O = 5× 16 = 80 g/mol

molar mass of P2O5 = 142 g/mol

Noe we will find the moles of 0.560 g P2O5:

moles = mass / molar mass

moles = 0.560 g/ 142 g/mol

moles = 0.0039 mol

now we will find the atoms present in 0.0039 moles:

0.0039 × 6.02 × 10∧ 23 molecules

2.357 × 10∧ 21 molecules

P2O5 consist of 7 atoms:

2.357 × 10∧ 21  × 7 = 16.499 × 10∧ 21 atoms
