Answer is: (4) emits energy as it moves to a lower energy state.

Atom emits a characteristic set of discrete wavelengths, according to its electronic energy levels.

Emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies emitted due to an atom making a transition from a high energy state to a lower energy state.  

Each transition has a specific energy difference.  

Each element's emission spectrum is unique.

When an excited electron in an atom moves to the ground state, the electron  \boxed{\left( {\text{4}} \right){\text{ emits energy as it moves to a lower energy state}}}.

Further Explanation:

Electronic transition:

It is a process that occurs when an electron undergoes emission or absorption from one energy level to another energy level.

When an electron undergoes a transition from a lower energy level to a higher energy level then it requires energy to complete the process. This transition is an absorption process.

When an electron undergoes a transition from higher energy level to lower energy level then it emits energy to complete the process. This transition is an emission process.

An excited electron has higher energy than that present in the ground state of the atom. Energy is to be released when an excited electron returns to its ground state. Therefore the excited electron emits energy when it jumps from an excited state (higher energy state) to the ground state (lower energy state). Hence option (4) is the correct answer.

A coffee-cup calorimeter initially contains 125 g water at 24.28C. Potassium bromide (10.5 g), also at 24.28C, is added to the w
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The solution is given below

Explanation:

Heat, q= mc∆T

q= 125g x 4.18 J/g∙°C x (21.18x- 24.28) °C

q=  -1619.75J

NEGATIVE SIGN INDICATES THAT HEAT IS ABSORBED.

Enthalpy Change, ∆H = 1619.75 7/ 10.5 g

                                     = 154.26 J/g

No. of moles of KBr = Mass of KBr/ Molecular Weight of KBr

                                =10.5g/119gmol-1

                                =0.088 mol

∆H= 1619.75 J/ 0.088 mol

      = 18.41 kJ/mol

Although not usually soluble in plain water, an amphoteric oxide or hydroxide is: 1. soluble in neutral solutions. 2. soluble in
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The correct option is: 4. soluble in both acidic and basic solutions

Explanation:

Oxide is a chemical compound formed by an element with oxygen. In such compounds, the oxygen is generally present in the -2 oxidation state.

Whereas, hydroxide is a chemical compound formed by an element with hydroxyl group (-OH).

<em>Oxides and hydroxides of some elements are </em><em>amphoteric</em><em> in nature.</em> <u><em>Such compounds can behave as an acid in basic medium and behave as a base in acidic medium.</em></u>

<u>Therefore, amphoteric oxides and hydroxides are soluble in both acidic and basic solutions.</u>

Match each gas law with the correct statement.
Serhud [2]
The correct match are as follows:

Boyles Law is about a gas at constant temperature. Therefore, the correct match would be the volume of a gas varies inversely with pressure if the temperature is kept constant.

Charles Law would be that the volume of a gas varies directly with temperature if the pressure is kept constant. 

Gay-lussac's law would be that the pressure of a gas varies directly with temperature if the volume is kept constant.
