Why do different chemicals emit different colors of light, and why is the color emitted specific to that chemical?

1 answer:

7 0

Every chemical is made up of atoms and each atom has one or more electrons surrounded its nucleus. The electron emits light after changing from a high energy state o to a lower energy state which is known as transition. The color of this light is unique to each element because each atom of a particular element has a different transition energy.

In what way are electrons quantized?

KiRa [710]

Answer: The correct option is A) They have fixed energy values.

Explanation:

Electron is one of the sub-atomic particle present around the nucleus of an atom which is negatively charged.

In an atomic model, it is assumed that the electron revolves around the nucleus in discrete orbits having fixed energy levels.

These electrons when jumping from one energy level to another, some amount of radiation is either emitted or absorbed.

These fixed energy levels are given by the Bohr model and thus, the electrons are quantized.

Hence, the correct option is A) They have fixed energy values.

A. A diagram showing the effects of temperature and pressure on phase

Explanation:

A phase diagram is a diagram that shows the effects of temperature and pressure on phase.

A phase diagram shows how different substances are transformed from one form to another.
The transformation is an interplay between pressure and temperature.
The phase graph represents physical state changes.
A phase change is made up of pressure on the y-axis and temperature on the x - axis.

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes(Mg-24, Mg-25, and Mg-26). The atomic mass and natural abundance of Mg-24 are 23

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

Atomic mass Abundance

Mg -24 = 23.9850 79%

Mg -25 = 24.9858 10%

Mg - 26= ? ?

Process

1.- Find the abundance of Mg-26

The sum of the abundance of the three isotopes equals 100%

Abundance Mg-24 + Abundance-Mg-25 + Abundance-26 = 100

79 + 10 + Abundance-26 = 100

Abundance Mg-26 = 100 -89

Abundance Mg-26 = 11%

2.- Find the atomic mass of Mg-26, the average atomic mass is 24.31 amu

Average atomic mass = (abundance)(atomic mass- 24) + (abundance)

(atomic mass-25) + (abundance)(atomic mass-26)

24.31 = (0.79)(23.9850)+ (0.10)(24.9858) + (Atomic mass-26)(0.11)

24.31 = 18.94815 + 2.4986 + 0.11(atomic mass-26)

24.31 = 21.4342 + 0.11(atomic mass- 26)

0.11(atomic mass-26) = 24.31 - 21.4342

0.11(atomic mass-26) = 2.8758

Atomic mass-26 = 2.8758/0.11

Atomic mass-26 = 26.1436 amu
