Answer:

Explanation:

The orbital notations shows the sequence of filling electrons into the orbitals of sublevels.

This filling is based on some certain principles.

For an atom with 16 electrons, the orbital diagram is shown below:

                        1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴

  • The maximum number of electrons in each sublevel of the orbitals are:

                  2 electrons for s-sublevel with one orbital

                  6 electrons for p-sublevel with three orbital

                  10 electrons for d-sublevel with five orbital

                  14 electrons for f-sublevel with seven orbital

  • According to the Aufbau's principle, sublevels with lower energy are filled before those with higher energy.

                            1s 2s 2p 3s 3p 4s 3d etc

  • Pauli's exclusion principle shows that no two electrons can have the same set of values for the four quantum numbers. Simply, no two electrons can spin in the same direction.

  • Hund's rule states that electrons go into degenerate orbitals of sub-levles(s,p,d and f) singly before pairing commences.

      This rule shows that in each energy level, as the electron goes into the degenerate orbitals, they fill it one by one before they begin to pair up. As we know, each degenerate orbital can only accomodate 2 electrons.

  From the orbital diagram 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁴, the 3p sublevel has 3 orbitals. In each of the orbitals, two electrons would occupy them to give a maximum capacity of 6. But the sublevel has just 4 electrons. Based on Hund's rule, an electron will go into each of the 3 orbitals first. The remaining electron will now pair with the first degenerate orbital. This makes a total of 4 electrons.

What is the ultimate end of a high mass star that has a core about 2.8x the mass of our sun?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

It is formed after the star has ended its star cycle into a supernova. The star collapsed into a neutron star that is smaller than the progenitor star but has inherited angular momentum. IT, therefore, spins faster emitting electromagnetic radiation that seems to pulsate.

When a hydrogen atom makes the transition from the second excited state to the ground state (at -13.6 eV) the energy of the phot
viktelen [127]

Answer : The energy of the photon emitted is, -12.1 eV

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the 'n^{th}' orbit of hydrogen atom.

Formula used :

E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev

where,

E_n = energy of n^{th} orbit

n = number of orbit

Z = atomic number  of hydrogen atom = 1

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen atom:

E_1=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6eV

Energy of n = 2 in an hydrogen atom:

E_3=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{3^2}eV=-1.51eV

Energy change transition from n = 1 to n = 3 occurs.

Let energy change be E.

E=E_-E_3=(-13.6eV)-(-1.51eV)=-12.1eV

The negative sign indicates that energy of the photon emitted.

Thus, the energy of the photon emitted is, -12.1 eV
