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

Chemistry

zavuch27 [327]3 years ago

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.

Write a net ionic equation to show how codeine, c18h21o3n, behaves as a base in water.
Lera25 [3.4K]

Actually, the ionic equation for this is a reversible equation since codeine is a weak base. Any weak base or weak acids do not completely dissociate which makes them a reversible process. The ionic equation for this case is:

<span>C18H21O3N  +  H3O+  </span><=> C18H21O3NH+ +  H2O

If the exact outer limit of an isolated atom cannot be measured, what criterion can we use to determine atomic radii? What is th
Alik [6]

Answer:

Calculate the atomic radii of two touching or overlapping atoms.

Explanation:

No doubt, we can't find the atomic boundary of a single atom, but when atoms are in the form of pairs it becomes very easy to measure the atomic radii of two and then dividing it by 2 to get an estimate of atomic radius of a single atom.

It is also called as covalent radius which is half of the total inter-nuclear distance between two same bonded atoms (Homo-nuclear).

If two adjacent mettalic ions are joined by such pairing then the same half of the distance between the nucleus is termed as metallic radii.
