Answer: Transition from X to Y will have greater energy difference.

Explanation: For studying the energy difference, we require Planck's equation.

                                E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where, h = Planck's Constant

c = Speed of light

E = Energy

\lambda = Wavelength of particle

From the equation, it is visible that the energy and wavelength follow inverse relation which means that with low wavelength value, energy will be the highest and vice-versa.

As electron A falls from X-energy level to Y-energy level, it releases blue light which has low wavelength value (around 470 nm) which means that it has high energy.

Similarly, Electron B releases red light when it falls from Y-energy level to Z-energy level, which has high wavelength value (around 700 nm), giving it a low energy value.

Energy Difference between X-energy level and Y-energy level will be more.

Why are plastic building blocks good for building molecules
9966 [12]
Plastic building blocks are good for building molecules because of some useful properties which they possess. For instance, plastic are flexible, they can be easily manipulated and can be made into any shape, size and combination. They can also be produced using different colors. Because of these features, they can be used to build and to explain how molecules behave.

kobusy [5.1K]
Answer is: Allena is correct. It is an element because it is only made of chlorine atoms.
A chemical element bonded to an identical chemical element is not a chemical compound since it is made from only one element and not from two different elements. Chlorine is molecule, but not compound.

Michigan v. Tyler was the Supreme court ruling that they violated when

warrantless search was done.

<h3>Michigan v. Tyler case</h3>

The Court of Appeals of the State of Michigan affirmed the conviction for the

exception of a warrantless search only in the case of an arson.

In this case, there was no arson involved which is against the rule of law as

various items (stolen money, illegal weapons, drugs) were only searched for.

This thereby violates the U.S. Supreme Court ruling between Michigan v.

Tyler.
