So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow.
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.
A) The class and C) Family would be the only accurate option. Here are the levels from largest to smallest: <span>kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.</span>
<u>Answer:</u> The red litmus paper turns blue on dipping in NaOH solution.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Litmus paper is the indicator that detects the nature of the solution, whether it is acidic or basic.
There are 2 types of litmus paper:
- <u>Red litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn blue if it is dipped in basic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in acidic solution.
- <u>Blue litmus paper:</u> This paper will turn red if it is dipped in acidic solution and will remain as such if it is dipped in basic solution.
NaOH is a strong base, so when a red litmus paper is dipped in the beaker having necessary amount of NaOH, the red litmus paper turns into blue.
