Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation: As the electron moves from lower energy level to higher energy level, it absorbs some amount of energy. When the electron returns back from this higher energy level to the lower energy level, it emits the exact amount of energy it has absorbed.

As every orbital has its characteristic energy value, whenever electrons absorb or emit energy, they move to different energy level that is they occupy different orbitals and hence we can say that the electron moves between orbital levels.

Why does the sun seem to change position in the sky?

Blababa [14]

The first major contributor to the Sun's apparent motion is the fact that Earth orbits the Sun while tilted on its axis. The Earth's axial tilt of approximately 23.5° ensures that observers at different locations will see the Sun reach higher-or-lower positions above the horizon throughout the year.

hope this helps ^^

In tne equation below identify the bronsted lowry acid bronsted lowry base conjugate acid conjugate base

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Brønsted-Lowry acid: HNO₂

Brønsted-Lowry base: NH₃

Conjugate acid: NH₄⁺

Conjugate base: NO₂⁻

Explanation:

The equation is:

$HNO_2(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow NH4^+(aq) + NO2^-(aq)$

Brønsted-Lowry acids are H⁺ donors.

Brønsted-Lowry bases are H⁺ acceptors.

Thus, on the left side, HNO₂ is the acid and NH₃ is the base.

The conjugate acids and conjugate bases are on the right side of the equation.

The conjugate acid is the spieces that is formed after a base accepts the proton; thus it is NH₄⁺. A conjugate acid contains one more H atom and one more + charge than the base that formed it.

The conjugate base is the species that is formed after the acid donates its proton; thus, NO₂⁻ is the conjugate base. A conjugate base contains one less H atom and one more - charge than the acid that formed it.

Summarizing:

Brønsted-Lowry acid: HNO₂

Brønsted-Lowry base: NH₃

Conjugate acid: NH₄⁺

Conjugate base: NO₂⁻

What do voltage-gated ion channels open in response to?.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:Voltage-gated channels open (activate) in response to changes in membrane potential because the electric field acts on the channel to change its protein conformation (or state). It is voltage-gated sodium (Na+) channels that initiate action potentials and voltage-gated K+ channels that cause them to end.
