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>

Find the molar mass of this
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

Given problem:

Find the molar mass of:

  SO₃ and C₁₀H₈

Solution:

The molar mass of a compound is the mass in grams of one mole of the substance.

To solve this, we are going to add the individual atomic masses of the elements in the compound;

  Atomic mass;

       S = 32g/mol; O = 16g/mol; C = 12g/mol and H = 1g/mol

For  SO₃;

     = 32 + 3(16)

     = 32 + 48

     = 80g/mol

For C₁₀H₈

      = 10(12) + 8(1)

      = 120 + 8

       = 128g/mol

Explain how our body systems work together to get oxygen into and around our body.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:  (1) Inhales (breathes in) Oxygen - good for the body - gives it to the Circulatory System to be transported throughout the body through the blood. (1) Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go.

What best explains why the box’s final kinetic energy is less than its initial potential energy
ziro4ka [17]
Some potential energy was converted into thermal energy due to friction. The acceleration due to gravity became smaller as the box slid down the ramp.
