What is the wavelength of the line corresponding to n=4 in the balmer series? express your answer in nanometers to three signifi
1 answer:
Expression for the Balmer series to find the wavelength of the spectral line is as follows:
1 / λ = R
Where, λ is wavelength, R is Rydberg constant, and n is integral value (4 here → Fourth level)
Substitute 1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ for R and 4 for n in the above equation
1 / λ = (1.097 x 10⁷ m⁻¹)
= 0.20568 x 10⁷ m⁻¹
λ = 4.86 x 10⁻⁷ m
since 1 m = 10⁹ nm
λ = 486 nm

Answer:
The structures are attached in file.
Hydrogen bonding and intermolecular forces is the reason for ranks allotted.
Explanation:
In determining Lewis structure, we calculate the overall number of valence electrons available for bonding. Making carbon (the least electronegative atom) the central atom in the structure, we allocate valence electrons until each atom has achieved stability.
In order of decreasing affinity to water molecules:
This is due to the fact that the will accept protons more readily than the bicarbonate ion,
. Carbonic acid,
will not accept any more protons, hence it is the least attractive to water molecule, even though soluble.
