How can a hydrogen atom, which has only one electron, have so many spectral lines?

Chemistry

kow [346]3 years ago

Answer:

The hydrogen atom has just one electron, but many spectral lines. However it contains many shells and the movement of that electron from one shell to another causes the release of energy and also an emission of photons.

A spectral line are dark or bright lines formed within a specific frequency range which differ from other frequencies.Because of the difference of energy for the various shells, it produces different wavelengths and this is the reason for the many spectral line for hydrogen.

A gas mixture contains twice as many moles of o2 as n2. addition of 0.200 mol of argon to this mixture increases the pressure fr
pantera1 [17]
Number of moles of oxygen = x

number of moles of nitrogen = y

x = 2y

initial pressure, p1 = 0.8 atm

final pressure, p2 = 1.10 atm

At constant volume and temperature p1 / n1 = p2 / n2

=> p1 / p2 = n1 / n2

n1 = x + y = 2y + y = 3y

n2 = 0.2 + 3y

=> p1 / p2 = 3y / (0.2 + 3y)

=> 0.8 / 1.10 = 3y / (0.2 + 3y)

=> 0.8 (0.2 + 3y) = 1.10 (3y)

0.16 + 2.4y = 3.3y

=> 3.3y - 2.4y = 0.16

=> 0.9y = 0.16

=> y = 0.16 / 0.9

=. x = 2*0.16/0.9 = 0.356

Answer: 0.356 moles O2

Describe the structure of an ionic compound
maxonik [38]

Answer:

An ionic compound is a giant structure of ions.

Explanation:

As a result of ion attraction, ions form a regular pattern with oppositely charged ions next to each other in an ionic compound. Ions are organized in an ionic network, a giant structure made up of alternating ions.
