So platinum is a transition metal. In general transition metals are reducers, which means they can give the electrons they have, to the sodium atoms. Also in chemistry we look at sub orbitals rather that shells(2,8,8). So due to the energy from heat, the d orbital split as electrons move to a higher energy level. Some of the electrons are given to the sodium ions and therefore the flame changes colour to yellow. 
The excitation of the electrons is caused by them getting energy and so moving up an energy level. This energy is released and the electron returns to it's original state. The energy released, however, does not release in the same direction, but in different/various directions. Therefore the colour of the light changes as some energy is released in the surrounding.

Which molecule below has hydrogen bonding? Which molecule below has hydrogen bonding? H2 CH3CH2OH HCl CH4 all of the above
QveST [7]

Answer:

CH_3CH_2OH

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding:-

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Partially positive end of the hydrogen atom is attracted to partially negative end of these atoms which is present in another molecule. It is strong force of attraction between the molecules.

Thus, hydrogen must be linked to electronegative atom which is oxygen, fluorine and nitrogen which is in CH_3CH_2OH and thus, it will shown hydrogen bonding.

determine the frequency and wavelength (in nm) of the light emitted when the e- fell from n=4 and n=2
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

λ = 4.87×10² nm

Explanation:

In case of hydrogen atom energy associated with nth state is,

En =  -13.6/n²

For n = 2

E₂ = -13.6 / 2²

E₂ = -13.6/4

E₂ = -3.4 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₂ = 3.4 ev

For n = 4

E₄ = -13.6 / 4²

E₄ = -13.6/16

E₄ = -0.85 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₄ = 0.85 ev

Wavelength of radiation emitted:

E = hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

hc/λ = E₄ - E₂

by putting values,

6.63×10⁻³⁴Js × 3×10⁸m/s / λ = -0.85ev   - (-3.4ev )

6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s / λ = 2.55 ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s  /2.55ev

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js× 3×10⁸m/s  /2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 2.55× 1.6×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 19.89 ×10⁻²⁶ Jm / 4.08×10⁻¹⁹ J

λ = 4.87×10⁻⁷ m

m to nm:

4.87×10⁻⁷ m ×10⁹nm/1 m

4.87×10² nm

Frequency:

Frequency = speed of electron / wavelength

by putting values,

Frequency = 3×10⁸m/s /4.87×10⁻⁷ m

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 6.16 ×10¹⁴ Hz

The Element rhenium has two naturally occurring isotopes, 185 Re and 187 Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 amu. Rhenium
BigorU [14]
To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, the equation becomes 186.207=187*0.626+185*x where x is the percent abundance of 185. The answer is 0.374 or 37.4%. This can also be obtained by 100%-62.6%= 37.4%.
