When the electron of a hydrogen atom moves into a higher energy orbit, what is the state of the atom?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer is: excited state.
In excited state, hydrogen has higher energy than in the ground state (state with lowest energy). Hydrogen atom has one electron in the lowest possible orbit (1s), when atom absorbs energy, the electron move into an excited state (quantum numbers greater than the minimum possible). Electron lifetime in excited state is short.

Answer:

All matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are made up of three subatomic particles known as proton, neutron and electron. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus.

The nucleus is dense and takes up very little space within the atom. All protons have a positive charge and have a mass of about 1 amu. All neutrons have no charge or are neutral and have a mass of about 1 amu.

Electrons are located in the area known as electron cloud. Electrons orbit around the nucleus and have a negative charge

¿Cuál de los siguientes no acelera a una reacción?

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is B).

Explanation:

The factors that accelerate a chemical reaction are:

- Temperature: at a higher temperature, the speed of a reaction is increased.

- Pressure: the higher this is, the greater the collisions between molecules and an acceleration of the reaction speed will occur.

-Catalysts: correspond to substances that accelerate chemical reactions, an example are enzymes. There are catalysts that increase the reaction rate and others that generate the opposite effect (they are inhibitors).

There are also other factors that accelerate a chemical reaction such as the concentration of reagents.
