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

Chemistry

kogti [31]1 year ago

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

What’s the relationship between atomic radius and ease of oxidation on the activity series.
user100 [1]

The bigger the atomic radius the easier it is to oxidise the atom. Remember that an atom is oxidized by the loss of an electron.

Explanation:

The bigger the atomic radius the further away the valence electron are from the attractive force of the atomic nucleus. This means that the energy required to remove an electron from the valence shell is easier compared to an atom with a smaller atomic radius. This is because you need to overcome the attractive force of the nucleus on the electron for you to oxidize the atom.

How many atoms are in 8.28 moles of aluminum?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 8.28 mol

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For 8.28 moles of Al:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³  atoms of Al

8.28 mol×6.022 × 10²³  atoms / 1mol

49.86 × 10²³  atoms of Al

a material has a density of 8.9 g/cm^3. You have six cubic centimeters of the substance. What is the material's mass in grams?
Svet_ta [14]
If the formula for density=m/v, you can manipulate this formula to the the mass. After manipulation, you get the equation for mass to be: m=density * volume. With density and volume given, we can find the mass.

mass= (8.9) * 6 = 53.4grams
