In a hypothetical atom, electron N transitions between energy levels, giving off orange light in the transition. In the same ato

m, electron P gives off violet light when it transitions between energy levels. Did electron N or electron P have a transition that covered a greater energy difference? The electromagnetic spectrum has been provided to assist you in answering the question, and you should reference info from the spectrum in your answer. Be clear and fully explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer : Electron P has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

Explanation :  

Wavelength range of violet light = 400 - 500 nm

Wavelength range of orange light = 600 - 700 nm

The Planck's equation is,

E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of light

c = speed of light

\lambda = wavelength of light

According to the Planck's equation, wavelength and energy follow inverse relation. As the wavelength increases, energy decreases.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of violet light is less. We conclude that When electron P gives violet light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was high.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of orange light is more. We conclude that When electron N  gives orange light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was low.

So, Electron P which gives violet light on transition has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Yes, electron N or electron P have a transition that covered a greater energy difference.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • N electron giving orange light means light wave of 650 to 700 nm wavelength according to electromagnetic spectrum.
  • P electron giving Violet light means light wave with a wavelength of 400 nm.
  • As wave length and energy of a wave is inversely proportional to each other.
  • It means N electron light with long wavelength has low energy.
  • P electron light with short wave length has high energy.
  • Hence both electrons have transitions of great energy difference.

Diazomethane has the molecular formula CH2N2. Draw the preferred Lewis structure for diazomethane and assign formal charges to a
Alja [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We define the formal charge on an atom in a molecule as the charge it carries assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds of the molecule were shared equally between atoms irrespective of the electronegativity of each atom.

The formula for calculating the formal charge on an atom in a molecule is;

Formal Charge = [number of valence electrons on neutral atom] – [(number of lone electron pairs) + (½ number of bonding electrons)] ·

The formal charge on the two nitrogen atoms in diazomethane is obtained as follows;

Middle nitrogen atom = 5 – 8/2 – 0 = +1

Last nitrogen atom = 5 – 4/2 – 4 = –1

The Lewis structure of the molecule is shown in the image attached.

HELPP!<br> how many grams are in 1.50 x 10(24) atoms of copper?
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

2266g

Explanation:

mass = no.of molecules /6.o23*1o(23) * molar mass

molar mass of co2= 44g /mol

1.5 .10^25/6.023 .10^23 =51.5 moles of co2

51.5 .44g/mol =2266 g

Calculate the volume in mL of a 0.708 M KOH solution containing 0.098 mol of solute
Olenka [21]
Molarity = mol/liter

0.708M = 0.098mol/L
Rearrange to find L:
0.098mol/0.708M = .138L

For every liter there is 1000 mL:
.138L • 1000mL =138mL KOH

What is the purpose of a catalyst?
Artyom0805 [142]
Answer: A. To change the potential energy of the reactants.

Explanation:
Catalysts make such a breaking and rebuilding happen more efficiently. They do this by lowering the activation energy for the chemical reaction. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to allow the chemical reaction to occur. The catalyst just changes the path to the new chemical partnership.
