Why are only certain colors absorbed by and emitted from an atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zavuch27 [327]4 years ago
6 0
The way I would explain it is quite difficult to understand, so this is what Google says. "The wavelength (or equivalently, frequency) of the photon is determined by the difference in energy between the two states. These emitted photons form the element's spectrum. The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted." I hope this helped.

How many atoms of fluoride are there in one molecule of nitrogen trifluoride?
Helga [31]

Answer:

there are three Fluorine atom. This is because Nitrogen give 3 electron away but fluorine can only take 1. So nitrogen gives 1 neutron to 3 fluorine each which makes it a stable compound

Why can filtration not be used to seperate a mixture of 2 liquids ​
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Filtration works best when the solute isn't dissolve in the solvent. For instance, sand and water can be seperated through filtration because both compounds do not dissolve with each other. However, sugar and water would not be seperated through filtration as they dissolve with each other.

A 4.36-g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 mL of water. An acid-base indicator is added, and the
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Rb+

Explanation:

Since they are telling us that the equivalence point was reached after 17.0 mL of   2.5 M HCl were added , we can calculate the number of moles of HCl which neutralized our unknown hydroxide.

Now all the choices for the metal cation are monovalent, therefore the general formula for our unknown is XOH and  we know the reaction is 1 equivalent acid to 1 equivalent base. Thus we have the number of moles, n,  of XOH and from the relation n = M/MW we can calculate the molecular weight of XOH.

Thus our calculations are:

V = 17.0 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.017 L

2.5 M HCl x 0.017 L = 2.5 mol/ L x 0.017 L = 0.0425 mol

0.0425 mol = 4.36 g/ MW XOH

MW of XOH = (atomic weight of X + 16 + 1)

so solving the above equation we get:

0.0425 = 4.36 / (X + 17 )

0.7225 +0.0425X = 4.36

0.0425X = 4.36 -0.7225 = 3.6375

X = 3.6375/0.0425 = 85.59

The unknown alkali is Rb which has an atomic weight of 85.47 g/mol
