Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

Using the periodic tables, identify the heaviest member of each of the following groups:
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) Alkali metals: Francium (Fr)

(b) Chalcogens: Polonium (Po)

(c) Noble gases: Radon (Rn)

(d) Alkaline earth metals: Radium (Ra)

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the atomic mass increases down the group. Therefore, the last element of a group is the heaviest element of the group.

(a) alkali metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 1 of the periodic table, except hydrogen.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is francium (Fr)</u>

(b) chalcogens: The chemical elements that are present in group 16 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is polonium (Po)</u>

(c) noble gases:  The chemical elements that are present in group 18 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radon (Rn)</u>

(d) alkaline earth metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 2 of the periodic table.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radium (Ra)</u>

The Lyman series results from excited state hydrogen atoms transiting to
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

I can't draw diagrams on this web site but I can do with numbers I think. So an electron is moved from n = 1 to n = 5. I'm assuming I've interpreted the problem correctly; if not you will need to make a correction. I'm assuming that you know the electron in the n = 1 state is the ground state so the 4th exited state moves it to the n = 5 level.

n = 5 4th excited state

n = 4 3rd excited state

n = 3 2nd excited state

n = 2 1st excited state

n = 1 ground state

Here are the possible spectral lines.

n = 5 to 4, n = 5 to 3, n = 5 to 2, n = 5 to 1 or 4 lines.

n = 4 to 3, 4 to 2, 4 to 1 = 3 lines

n = 3 to 2, 3 to 1 = 2 lines

n = 2 to 1 = 1 line. Add 'em up. I get 10.

b. The Lyman series is from whatever to n = 1. Count the above that end in n = 1.

c.The E for any level is -21.8E-19 Joules/n^2

To find the E for any transition (delta E) take E for upper n and subtract from the E for the lower n and that gives you delta E for the transition.

So for n = 5 to n = 1, use -Efor 5 -(-Efor 1) = + something which I'll leave for you. You could convert that to wavelength in meters with delta E = hc/wavelength. You might want to try it for the Balmer series (n ending in n = 2). I think the red line is about 650 nm.
