What happens to an electron when it emits a photon

Chemistry
1 answer:
Flura [38]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

when electron emit the radiations it means it jumped to the lower energy level from higher energy level.

Explanation:

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

The process is called de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

A compound is found to be 30.45% n and 69.55 % o by mass. if 1.63 g of this compound occupy 389 ml at 0.00°c and 775 mm hg, what
Charra [1.4K]
1) mass composition

N: 30.45%
O: 69.55%
   -----------
   100.00%

2) molar composition

Divide each element by its atomic mass

N: 30.45 / 14.00 = 2.175 mol

O: 69.55 / 16.00 = 4.346875

4) Find the smallest molar proportion

Divide both by the smaller number

N: 2.175 / 2.175 = 1

O: 4.346875 / 2.175 = 1.999 = 2

5) Empirical formula: NO2

6) mass of the empirical formula

14.00 + 2 * 16.00 = 46.00 g

7) Find the number of moles of the gas using the equation pV = nRT

=> n = pV / RT = (775/760) atm * 0.389 l / (0.0821 atm*l /K*mol * 273.15K)

=> n = 0.01769 moles

8) Find molar mass

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 1.63 g / 0.01769 mol = 92.14 g / mol

9) Find how many times the mass of the empirical formula is contained in the molar mass

92.14 / 46.00 = 2.00

10) Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the number found in the previous step

=> N2O4

Answer: N2O4

Which feature is most likely found at a divergent boundary?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Most divergent plate boundaries are underwater and form submarine mountain ranges called oceanic spreading ridges. While the process of forming these mountain ranges is volcanic, volcanoes and earthquakes along oceanic spreading ridges are not as violent as they are at convergent plate boundaries.

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe
Viktor [21]
<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>

tatyana61 [14]
The option that would best contrast the real and the model atoms is letter "D. model of an atom is not as small as an actual atom". The size of an atom is said to be no more than 0.1 to 0.5 nanometers. The models are used to proper illustrate the atom's physical attributes. That is why, it needs to be bigger in size.
