Answer:

Rb is an alkali metal.

Explanation:

The elements characterized by having a single electron in its outermost orbital (s) are called alkali metals or simply alkaline metals.

Due to the presence of this electron, they are chemically very reactive because they have a tendency to lose this electron. In other words, their high reactivity is due to the fact that they form chemical bonds with many types of substances and elements and do so easily. This is due to its high electronegativity.

Like all metals, they are very good thermal and electrical conductors. But in comparison, alkali metals are soft and have a low melting point due to their metallic bond. This link is quite weak because it is the external electrons that are responsible for the bond and in these metals there is only one electron per atom.

The alkali metals are located in group 1 of the periodic table and are: lithium (Li), sodium(Na), potassium(K), rubidium(Rb), cesium(Cs) and francium(Fr).

Calculate the wavelength, in nanometers, of the spectral line produced when an electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes the transit

Lapatulllka [165]

<u>Answer:</u> The wavelength of spectral line is 656 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_f^2}-\frac{1}{n_i^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Final energy level = 2

$n_i$ = Initial energy level = 3

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.097\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.524\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.56\times 10^{-7}m$

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

$1m=10^9nm$

So, $6.56\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656nm$

Hence, the wavelength of spectral line is 656 nm
