The correct answer is (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell.

The explanation :

when a gain of energy is the shift of the electrons from a shell of low energy to the shell of high energy

and we have here 2nd shell is the shell of low energy, and 3rd shell is the shell of high energy.

∴ (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell is the correct answer.

What is the difference between a state and a microstate of a system?

Brut [27]

Answer:

a) A microstate is a snapshot of positions and speeds at a particular instant.

b) A thermodynamic state is a single possible arrangement of the positions and kinetic energies of the molecules.

c) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature and pressure, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

d) A microstate is a single possibility for all the positions and kinetic energies of all the molecules in a sample.

e) A thermodynamic state is a set of conditions, usually temperature, volume and number of moles, that defines the properties of a bulk material.

Explanation:

A state of a system in thermodynamics give the properties that a material is been made up, these properties could be pressure, temperature, volumes and others , they are been called thermodynamic property

Microstates helps us to know how molecules is been arranged in single instant. Kinetics energy as well as position of molecules in a particular substance can be known in single instant.

Does the bowling ball have more potential energy or kinetic energy just before it hits the ground? Why?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Equal

Explanation:

When the bowling ball is first dropped, it has a maximum potential energy but minimum kinetic energy. The height is max, so the potential energy will be greatest. Velocity is 0, so kinetic energy will be 0.

Which of the following is NOT a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

"3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another."

Explanation:

The third answer choice, "3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another. " is related to the Law of Conservation of Energy from thermodynamics. Is it not a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

"1. Average Kinetic Energy of the system is a measure of the temperature of the system."

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

The average kinetic energy of the system is measured by its temperature and nothing else

"2. Energy is conserved in the collisions between gas molecules.."

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic, meaning no energy is lost

"3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another.

$\times$ NOT a Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory

Related to Conservation of Energy from thermodynamics

"4. Gases travel in straight line until they collide with other gas molecules"

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

All gas molecules will travel in a straight line until they collide with other gas molecules or some object (e.g. a container)
