Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.
molecules can be made of two of the same elements whereas a compound is always made of two different elements
To find this, we will use this formula:
Molar mass of element
------------------------------------ x 100
Molar mass of compound
So, first lets calculate the mass of the compound as a whole. We use the atomic masses on the periodic table to determine this.
Ca: 40.078 g/mol
N2 (there is two nitrogens): 28.014 g/mol
O6 (there are six nitrogens: 3 times 2): 95.994 g/mol
When we add all of those numbers up together, we get 164.086. That is the molar mass for the whole compound. However, we are trying to figure out what percent of the compound oxygen makes up. From the molar mass, we know that 95.994 of the 164.086 is oxygen. Lets plug those numbers into our equation!
95.994
-----------
164.086
When we divide those two numbers, we get .585. When we multiply that by 100, we get 58.5.
So, the percent compostition of oxygen in Ca(NO3)2, or, calcium nitrate, is 58.5%.
Answer:
Argon is an element on the periodic table. It is a member of the noble gasses, meaning that it is a monoatomic pure gas. In other words, argon gas particles are simply pure single atoms of argon. ... Finally, water is a polyatomic molecule H2O composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
