The correct wording for the question is:

Light is emitted by electrons when they drop from one energy level to a lower leve. Which transition results in the emission of light with the greatest energy:

  • Level 2 to level 4
  • Level 3 to level 2
  • Level 4 to level 2

Answer:

  • Third option: level 4 to level 2.

Explanation:

The electron transition in an atom from an upper level of energy to a lower level of energy, i.e. the jump of an electron to a lower energy level, implies the emission of light energy and the release of energy of the electron, i.e. the electron changes its energy.

The larger the gap between the states that the electron jumps, the shorter the wavelength of the photon emitted, the higher its frequency and the energy emiited during such transition of the electron (remember energy is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave, and both are inversely related to the wavelength).

From the options given the larger jump is from level 4 to level 2, so that is the transition that results in the emission of light with the greatest energy, which is the last option.

what is the ratio of the rate of effusion of helium (atomic mass 4.00 amu) to that of oxygen gas (molecular mass 32.0 amu)?
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 : 1

Explanation:

Let the rate of He be R1

Molar Mass of He (M1) = 4g/mol

Let the rate of O2 be R2

Molar Mass of O2 (M2) = 32g/mol

Recall:

R1/R2 = √(M2/M1)

R1/R2 = √(32/4)

R1/R2 = √8

R1/R2 = 3

The ratio of rate of effusion of Helium to oxygen is 3 : 1

why can you find different features at an oceanic-continental convergent zone than those found at a continental-continental conv
arlik [135]
Continental plates are much thicker that Oceanic plates. At the convergent boundaries the continental plates are pushed upward and gain thickness. The rocks and geological layers are much older on continental plates than in the oceanic plates. The Continental plates are much less dense than the Oceanic plates.
