The correct answer is Gamma decay. It happens after beta and alpha decay because what's left after those two can enter a new process of gamma decay. This releases gamma rays which is a more complex term for the photons that you mentioned before. These rays can be dangerous for humans so care not to get caught in them.

On a planet where the temperature is so high, the ground state of an electron in the hydrogen atom is n = 4. What is the ratio o

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

1:16

Explanation:

The ground state of an electron on the planet is n = 4 compared the ground state of an electron at n =1. For a hydrogen atom, the electron energy level is given as:

$E(n)=\frac{13.6}{n^2}\\ \\Where\ n\ is\ the\ ionization \ energy$

$E(4)=\frac{13.6}{4^2}=\frac{13.6}{16}\\ \\E(1)=\frac{13.6}{1^2}=\frac{13.6}{1}\\ \\The\ ratio\ of\ their\ ionization\ energy=\frac{E(4)}{E(1)} =\frac{\frac{13.6}{16} }{\frac{13.6}{1} } =\frac{1}{16}=1:16$

Hence the ratio of their ionization energies is 1:16

When energy in the atom is released, what occurs?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

What happens when electrons in atoms absorb or release energy? When electrons absorb or release energy, their electrons can move to higher or lower energy levels. These electrons lose energy by emitting light when they return to lower energy levels.
