Why does helium have more spectral lines than hydrogen?

Physics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
8 0

<span>This is because Helium has two valence electrons compared to Hydrogen which has only one. Helium has more energy levels for an electron to jump thus more spectral lines to occur. The spectral lines relating to each change of energy level would be more grouped together and hence the greater chance of them falling in the visible range.</span>

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

3.8 kg

Explanation:

The torque, <em>τ</em>, due to the force, <em>F</em>, is given by

\tau = F\times r

where <em>r</em> is the radius.

This torque is also given by

\tau = I\times\alpha

where <em>I</em> and <em>α</em> are respectively the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration.

For a solid disk, its moment of inertia for an axis though its centre and perpendicular to its face is given by

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^2

where <em>m</em> is its mass and <em>r</em> is its radius.

Hence, we have

\tau = F\times r = I\times\alpha=\frac{1}{2}mr^2\times\alpha

m = \dfrac{2F}{r\alpha} = \dfrac{2(30\ \text{N})}{(0.14\ \text{m})(115\ \text{rad/s}^2)} = 3.8\ \text{kg}

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

0.32 m.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must recognise that:

1. At the maximum height, the velocity of the ball is zero.

2. When the velocity of the ball is 2.5 m/s above the ground, it is assumed that the potential energy and kinetic energy of the ball are the same.

With the above information in mind, we shall determine the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = constant

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Velocity (v) = 2.5 m/s

Height (h) =?

PE = KE

Recall:

PE = mgh

KE = ½mv²

Thus,

PE = KE

mgh = ½mv²

Cancel m from both side

gh = ½v²

9.8 × h = ½ × 2.5²

9.8 × h = ½ × 6.25

9.8 × h = 3.125

Divide both side by 9.8

h = 3.125 / 9.8

h = 0.32 m

Thus, the height of the ball when it has a speed of 2.5 m/s is 0.32 m.

Why does a lone pair of electrons occupy more space around a central atom than a bonding pair of electrons?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The lone pair of electrons occupy more space because the electrostatic force becomes weaker.

Explanation:

When there is a bond pair of electrons in the 2 positively charged the atomic nuclei draw the electron density towards them, thereby reducing the bond diameter.

In the case of the lone pair, only 1 nucleus is present, and the enticing electrostatic force becomes weaker and the intensity of the electrons will be increases. Therefore, the lone pair occupies more space than the pair of bonds.

Intuitively, which of the following would happen to E⃗ net if d became very large? E⃗ net should reduce to the field of a point
mart [117]

Answer:

A C

Explanation:

The statement of the exercise is a bit strange, but if the distance between the load increases.

The following phenomena must occur.

* If the charge has a spatial distribution, the electric field should reduce the electric field of a point charge at the same distance

* As the distance increases the value of the electric field decreases in quadratic form

therefore when reviewing the correct answers are

if the total load is q, answer A is correct

and answer C is always correc
