Answer:

486.17 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula  \frac{1}{\beta  } = R__H (\frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2}) to calculate for the wavelength of the photon emitted. where beta means a substitute for  wavelength (λ) in the above equation.

Our given parameters include ;

The Rydberg constant is 1.097 × 10-2 nm-1.

an electron drops from a 4d orbital to a 2p orbital; which implies the n₂ & n₁ respectively.

Substituting them to the above equation; we can calculate for our wavelength easily;

∴

\frac{1}{\beta}=1.097*10^{-2}(\frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{4^2})

\frac{1}{\beta}=1.097*10^{-2}*0.1875

\frac{1}{\beta}=0.00205875

Since we've earlier said our (β) serves as a substitute for wavelength (λ)

Thus; λ = 0.002056875⁻¹

λ = 486.174 nm

λ ≅ 486.17 nm

If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, how many n-terminus groups would be present?
Crank
If, in a peptide chain, there were 85 amino acids each joined by peptide bonds, there would only be 1 N-terminus group that would be present. The N-terminus group is always the start of the chain of a amino acid chain or a protein or a polypeptide. It refers to the free amine group present that is located at the end part of the chain. So, that no matter how many amino acids in a chain there would always be only one N-terminus group.

Which pair below describes isotopes of the same element? A) an atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons - an atom with 8 protons and 6
V125BC [204]

<u>Answer:</u> The atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons and an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons are the isotopes of same element.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Isotopes are defined as the chemical species that belong to the same element but differ in their mass number.

This also means that the chemical species have same number of protons and electrons but different number of neutrons.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

From the given options:

The elements having same number of protons will be the isotopes of same element.

Hence, the atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons and an atom with 6 protons and 7 neutrons are the isotopes of same element.

What sample is a pure substance?A. a test tube of zinc oxide.
Mice21 [21]
The correct answer is A. A test tube of zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a compound which is a pure substance composed of two or more elements. They can only be separated or broken down into its individual elements or smaller compounds by chemical means. Therefore, the answer is a test tube of zinc oxide.
