Answer:

  • Option A. n = 6 to n = 1

Explanation:

Niels Bohr was a Danish physicist who proposed the hydrogen atom quantum model to explain the discontinuity of the atom's emission spectra.

In <em>Bohr hydrogen atom</em> model, the electrons occupy orbits identified with the numbers <em>n = 1, 2, 3, 4</em>, ... Each number (orbit) corresponds to a different energy level  or state. The number n = 1 corresponds to the lowest energy level, and each higher number corresponds to a higher energy level.

This table shows the relative energy of the different orbits of the <em>Bhor hydrogen atom</em><em>:</em>

Orbit      Quantum       Energy      Relative

              number         level          energy

First          n = 1                  1                   E₁

Second    n = 2                 2                2E₁

Third        n = 3                 3                 9E₁

Fourth      n = 4                 4                16E₁

Fifth          n = 5                5                25E₁

Sixth         n = 6                6                36E₁

Seventh    n = 7                7                49E₁

When an electron jumps from a higher energy state down to a lower energy state, it emits a photon with an energy equal to the difference of the energies between the initial and the final states.

Since the <u>n = 6 to n = 1</u> transition results in the higher relative energy difference (36E₁ - E₁ = 35E₁), you conclude that it is this transition which results in <u><em>the emission of the highest-energy photon,</em></u><em> which is the option A. </em>

Helium has a density of 1.79 x 10-4 g/mL at standard temperature and pressure. A balloon has a volume of 6.3 liters. Calculate t
LenaWriter [7]
The density of He is 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL
In other words in 1 mL there's 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g of He. 
To fill a volume of 6.3 L the mass of He required 
    = 1.79 x 10⁻⁴ g/mL * 6300 mL
   = 11 277 * 10⁻⁴ g
  Therefore mass of He required = 1.1277 g of He

Ganezh [65]
<span>You may already know that when you breathe in, your body takes in oxygen from the air. When you breathe out, your lungs expel carbon dioxide back into the air. But the breath you breathe out contains more than just carbon dioxide.</span>

When you exhale (breathe out), your breath also containsmoisture. Because your mouth and lungs are moist, each breath you exhale contains a little bit of water in the form of water vapor(the gas form of water).

For water to stay a gas in the form of water vapor, it needs enough energy to keep its molecules moving. Inside your lungs where it's nice and warm, this isn't a problem.

What is an energy transformation?
Dafna11 [192]
Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.
