Why do larger gases such as Neon produce more color bands (line spectra) than smaller gases like Hydrogen?

1 answer:

7 0

Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.

A buffer solution is composed of 4.00 4.00 mol of acid and 3.25 3.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a pKa of the acid is

Reika [66]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70

$[\text{conjuagate base}]}$ = moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles

$[\text{acid}]$ = Moles of acid = 4.00 moles

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.70+\log(\frac{3.25}{4.00})\\\\pH=4.61$

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61

Explain how its electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

Llana [10]

More unstable an electron configuration , the more reactive an atom will become.

How electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom?

This is happen generally, If we look at the Group 1 elements in the periodic table, they are all highly reactive as they have 1 electron in their outermost shells - an unstable configuration in terms of energy.

Also, the noble gases in Group 8 in the periodic table are 'inert' that means they don't react (or more correctly, have an incredibly low reactivity). This is because they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell and thus have no need to acquire or lose electrons to possess a stable electron configuration.

Hence, electron configuration influences the chemical behavior of an atom.

What type of ossification occurs to form an immovable joint

ipn [44]

Answer:

The type of ossification that occurs is the endomembrane or endochondral.

Explanation:

In this type of joints called SYNARTROSIS, there is no intermediate formation of ligaments or cartilage, with which the bone does not grow from a cartilage ossification, but from undifferentiated cells that will calcify and form bone cells and the main bone units that are the OSTEONAS. The bones that present this type of joints are the skull, in the area of the temporal bone (Temporary Suture) that grow abruptly throughout life and by mechanisms different from those bones that present a joint with movement.
