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

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

A small amount wet of hydrogen gas can be prepared by the reaction of zinc with excess hydrochloric acid and trapping the gas pr
dybincka [34]

Answer : The partial pressure of the hydrogen is, 705.9 mmHg

Explanation :

According to the Dalton's law of partial pressure,

P_T=P_{H_2}+P_{H_2O}

where,

P_T = total pressure of the gas = 729.7 mmHg

P_{H_2} = partial pressure of the hydrogen gas = ?

P_{H_2O} = partial pressure of the water = 23.8 mmHg (standard value)

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

729.7mmHg=P_{H_2}+23.8mmHg

P_{H_2}=705.9mmHg

Therefore, the partial pressure of the hydrogen is, 705.9 mmHg

Determine the volume of water to be added to the nitric acid solution at a concentration of 8.61 mol / L to prepare 500 mL of th
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

398 mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for molarity,

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂ where C₁ = concentration before adding water = 8.61 mol/L and V₁ = volume before adding water, C₂ = concentration after adding water = 1.75 mol/L and V₂ = volume after adding water = 500 mL = 0.5 L

V₂ = V₁ + V' where V' = volume of water added.

So, From C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

V₁ =  C₂V₂/C₁

= 1.75 mol/L × 0.5 L ÷ 8.61 mol/L

= 0.875 mol/8.61 mol/L

= 0.102 L

So, V₂ = V₁ + V'

0.5 L = 0.102 L + V'

V' = 0.5 L - 0.102 L

= 0.398 L

= 398 mL

So, we need to add 398 mL of water to the nitric solution.
