The atomic number of sodium is 11. Sodium is a metal and it has the electronic configuration: 2, 8,1. This configuration implies that, the electrons in an atom of sodium are distributed into three different shells and the outermost shell has one electron in it. If sodium decide to give away the electron on its outermost shell, it will have 10 electrons left and those electrons will be distributed in only the first two shells and then it will be described as an ion. The third shell will not exist again because the electron there has been given away. Thus, the sodium ion is going to have a smaller atomic radius because its size has been reduced. This implies that the sodium ion will have a smaller radius than the sodium atom.

Its atomic radius increases because there is less electron shielding after the sodium loses one e-.  Sodium is a nonmetal which means it forms an anion. Anions always increase from their original atomic radius

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme
boyakko [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )

Where,

\lambda = Wavelength of radiation

R_H = Rydberg's Constant  = 1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}

n_f = Higher energy level = n_i+1=(2+1)=3

n_i= Lower energy level = 2    (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

1m=10^9nm

So, 6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

xeze [42]
Hey there,

The blood needs to flow at a great and constant speed. It can not flow very slow because that can be warning's of a heart attack because your blood is using alot of force and its trying to provide as much blood as possible to arrive at the heart in order for your body to live. This is why we should drink water because as we drink water, it helps our blood flow through out our body well and so that we ma not have any problem now and in the future.
