The answer is A. How this helps
Answer: option A. the colors absorbed when an element gains energy.
Justification:
The electromagnetic waves, visible light included, consists of a gamma of waves with different frequencies and wavelengths.
The visible light can be decomposed in a set of series of lines of light with different frequencies and that decomposition is what a spectrum of light is. Each series correspond to a color.
The atoms can absorb and emit photons. That is, atoms can absorb and release energy.
When the atom abosorbs a photon an electron gets excited ( the electron gains energy).
The light absorbed, then, corresponds to color absortion, and the spectrum of absortion is the colors absorbed by the atom when its electrons gain energy by the absortion of photons (light).
Answer:
Using valence bond theory, HgCl2 is sp hybridized while PCl3 is sp3 hybridized.
Explanation:
sp hybridized molecules are largely covalent and cannot conduct electricity hence the nonconducting nature of HgCl2. PCl3 contains a lone pair and three unpaired electrons in sp3 hybridized orbitals.
Answer:
Homologous series is defined as a systematic order of structurally similar organic compound containing same functional group in their family and two adjacent members differ in their molecular formula by -CH2 unit.
Characteristics:
1.Various members of homologous series contain same functional group.
2.Various members of homologous series can be represented by common formula.
3. All members of a homologous series have almost similar chemical properties.
4. All members have common method of preparation.
5.Two successive members of homologous series have different chain length or difference in their molecular formula by -CH2 unit.
6.The members of homologous series show different physical properties.
