Answer:

n = 3 to n = 2

Explanation:

The Rydberg formula for electron transitions in the hydrogen atom is given by:

1/λ = Rh( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂² )

where

1/λ = wavelength of the transition,

Rh = Rydberg constant,

n₁ and n₂ are the principal quantum numbers of the energy levels involved in the transition with n₂ greater n₁.

The energy of the photon is given by

E = hc/λ

where

h= Planck´s constant

c= speed of light

Therefore the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength and the term ( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂² )  will be greater  ( 1/2² - 1/3² ) than (1/3² - 1/4² )  ( 0.14 vs 0.05 ). So the transition from n= 3 to n=2 will result in the emission of the highest energy photon in this question.

When methyloxirane is treated with HBr, the bromide ion attacks the less substituted position. However, when phenyloxirane is tr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See explanation and picture below

Explanation:

First, in the case of methyloxirane (Also known as propilene oxide) the mechanism that is taking place there is something similar to a Sn2 mechanism. Although a Sn2 mechanism is a bimolecular substitution taking place in only step, the mechanism followed here is pretty similar after the first step.

In both cases, the H atom of the HBr goes to the oxygen in the molecule. You'll have a OH⁺ in both. However, in the case of methyloxirane the next step is a Sn2 mechanism step, the bromide ion will go to the less substitued carbon, because the methyl group is exerting a steric hindrance. Not a big one but it has a little effect there, that's why the bromide will rather go to the carbon with more hydrogens. and the final product is formed.

In the case of phenyloxirane, once the OH⁺ is formed, the next step is a Sn1 mechanism. In this case, the bond C - OH⁺ is opened on the side of the phenyl to stabilize the OH. This is because that carbon is more stable than the carbon with no phenyl. (A 3° carbon is more stable than a 2° carbon). Therefore, when this bond opens, the bromide will go there in the next step, and the final product is formed. See picture below for mechanism and products.
