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

Increasing the temperature increases the vaporization rate of a liquid because the excess energy is used to break covalent bonds
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False.  The molecules of liquid are hold in the liquid state due to intermolecular forces or Van de Waals forces , without affecting the molecule itself and its atomic bonds (covalent bonds).  When the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher , therefore they have more possibilities to escape from the attractive intermolecular forces and go to the gas state.

Note however that this is caused because the intermolecular forces are really weak compared to covalent bonds, therefore is easier to break the first one first and go to the gas state before any covalent bond breaks ( if it happens).

A temperature increase can increase vaporisation rate if any reaction is triggered that decomposes the liquid into more volatile compounds , but nevertheless, this effect is generally insignificant compared with the effect that temperature has in vaporisation due to Van der Waals forces.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be  quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.
