Simplified. The absorption spectra of ions have been used to identify the presence of the elements in the atmospheres of the sun

and other stars. What is the energy of a photon (in J) that is absorbed by He+ ions, when an electron is excited from the Bohr orbit with n = 1 to the n = 4 state? The energy of an electron in the nth level is

Answer : The energy of a photon absorbed by He^+ ions is 8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Explanation :

The energy of an electron in the nth level is,

E_n=-\frac{BZ^2}{n^2}

where,

E_n = energy of an electron in the nth level

B = constant = 2.18\times 10^{-18}J

n = number of energy level

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons

First we have to calculate the energy of an electron for n = 1 level.

E_1=-\frac{BZ^2}{1^2}

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons for helium atom = 2

E_1=-\frac{(2.18\times 10^{-18})\times (2)^2}{1^2}

E_1=-8.72\times 10^{-18}J

Now we have to calculate the energy of an electron for n = 4 level.

E_4=-\frac{BZ^2}{4^2}

Z = charge on nucleus or number of protons for helium atom = 2

E_4=-\frac{(2.18\times 10^{-18})\times (2)^2}{4^2}

E_4=-5.45\times 10^{-19}J

Now we have to calculate the energy of a photon that is absorbed by He^+ ions.

E=E_4-E_1

E=(-5.45\times 10^{-19})-(-8.72\times 10^{-18})

E=8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Therefore, the energy of a photon absorbed by He^+ ions is 8.18\times 10^{-18}J

Answer:

She should suspect a Tornado.

Explanation:

Tornadoes form when warm humid air collides with cold dry air. The denser the cold air is pushed over warm air, causing an updraft. As soon as it reaches the ground a tornado is formed.

Help!!! I need the answer for "explain how using the periodic table can help answer this question"
Tanzania [10]
Well a compound is 2 or more different molecules together. So if you see a periodic table you will see the elements to see if they are the same or not.

noname [10]

Answer:

Option B:Publishing scientific journals

Explanation:

We are told that Lindsey is trying to gain credibility for her studies.

Since she completed her experiment and discussed her finding with colleagues, the most logical next step would be to publish scientific journals. This is because the other options given are not steps that should be taken because she has completed the research and therefore has no need to speak at a conference next nor even create new charts which they must have done during the research. No need for her to make sure the topic is popular.

Option B is correct
