An electron initially in a 4p state decays to a lower energy state. which energy state is forbidden?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kogti [31]1 year ago
3 0

The state of energy that is forbidden is 2p orbital. The correct option is b).

<h3>What is the energy state of electrons?</h3>

The energy state of an electron depends upon the presence of the electron on the orbitals. Lower the energy they will be in the lower orbital. When they get higher energy they move to the higher orbital.

By using the Selection Rules for Electron Transitions

1.) ?l = +/- 1 and

2.) ?m = 0, +/- 1

The conservation of angular momentum is required by these laws. A photon's inherent angular momentum is 1. As 4p is higher than 2p and the electron is lowering its energy. So, it will go down to 2p orbital.

Thus, the correct option is b). 2p orbital.

The question is incomplete. Your full question is given below:

a) 3d

b) 2p

c) 1s

d) 2s

Consider the following equilibrium system: 3O2(g)  2O3(g); Keq = 1 Which equation compares the concentration of oxygen and ozone
Rashid [163]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

 <span>3O2(g) <--> 2O3(g); 

Keq = 1 = [O3]^2/[O2]^3 

So [O2]^3 = [O3]^2 

Thus A) is correct</span>

The distance between the nuclei of two iron atoms is about 4 angstroms.a. Trueb. False
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct option is b. false

Explanation:

The distance between the nucleus of an atom and it's outermost shell is called is atomic radius. The atomic radius of an Iron atom (Fe) is 0.126 nm or 1.26 angstrom. The distance between the nuclei of two Iron atoms will be 1.26 × 2 = 2.52 angstroms.

Since 2.52 angstroms is lower than 4 angstroms, the correct option is false

At 100 degrees Celsius, the ion product for pure water is Kw= 51.3*10^-14. What is the pOH of water at this temperature? A) 7.00
Levart [38]

7.86 is the pOH of water at this temperature of 100 degrees celsius.

Option E is the right answer.

Explanation:

Data given:

Kw = 51.3 x 10^{-14}

pOH = ?

we know that pure water is neutral and will have pH pf 7.

The equation for relation between Kw and H+ and OH- ion is given by:

Kw = [H+] [OH-}

here the concentration of H+ ion and OH- ion is equal

so, [H+]= [OH-]

Putting the values in the equation of Kw

pKw = -log[Kw]

pKw = -log [51.3 x 10^{-14}]

pKw = 12.28

since H+ ion OH ion concentration is equal the pH of water is half i.e. 6.14

Now, pOH is calculated by using the equation:

14 = pOH + pH

14- 6.14 = pOH

pOH = 7.86

What is the mass of a magnesium block that measures 2.00 cm
skad [1K]

Answer:

m = 31.284 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimension of a magnesium block is 2.00 cm  x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm.

The density of magnesium is, d = 1.738 g/cm³

We need to find the mass of the magnesium block. We know that the density of an object is given by its mass per unit its volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{Where m=mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=1.738\ g/cm^3\times (2\times 3\times 3)\ cm^3\\\\m=31.284\ \text{grams}

So, the mass of the block is 31.284 grams.

How does the plate boundary along the west coast of the United States change over time?
Tanzania [10]

The North American plate is moving towards the west-southwest at about 2.3 centimeters every year mediated by the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the spreading center, which gave rise to the Atlantic Ocean. The small Juan De Fuca plate, moving east-northeast at 4 centimeters every year, was once a component of much greater oceanic plates known as the Farallon plate.  

The Farallon plate used to comprise what is now the Cocos plate of Mexico and Central America, and the Juan de Fuca plate in the region from N. Vancouver Island to the Cape Mendicino California, and a big sea floor tract in between. However, the middle portion of the Old Farallon plate disappeared underneath North America, it was subducted underneath California leaving the San Andreas fault system behind as the contact between the Pacific plates and North America.  

The Juan De Fuca plate is still actively subducting underneath North America. Its movement is not smooth, however, rather sticky. The buildup of strain takes place until the fault dissociates and a few meters of Juan De Fuca get slid underneath North America in a big earthquake.
