Answer:

electron loses energy as it transitions to lower energy level

Explanation:

An atom is capable of absorbing and releasing electrons. The atom of a substance is said to be at its GROUND LEVEL STATE when it contains the lowest energy level. However, when it absorbs or takes in energy, it moves to a high energy level called EXCITED STATE. This level is unstable and hence, subject to declination.

Due to the instability of the excited state of an atom, it tends to lose the absorbed electrons and in the process of doing so, it emits or produce light. Therefore, according to this question, light is produced by an atom when the electron loses energy as it transitions to lower energy level i.e excited state to ground level state.

Svetach [21]

Answer : The correct option is, 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5

Explanation :

The given element bromine belongs to the group 17 and period 4. The symbol of bromine is, Br.

The atomic number of bromine = 35

The total number of electrons present in bromine element = 35

Electronic configuration : It is defined as the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Hence, the correct electronic configuration of bromine is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5

How many numbers of atoms there are in 1.14 mol of (SO3)
Pachacha [2.7K]

called the Avogadro number 

N(A)= 6.02 x 10^23 mol^-1 

1 mole of SO3 will contain 6.02 x 10^23 mol^-1 of SO3 molecules. 

thus, 1.14moles will contain; 

= 1.14mol x [3mol O/1mol SO3] x [6.02 x 10^23

atoms O/1mol O] 

= 2.05884 x 10^24 oxygen atoms 

= 1.14mol x [1mol S/1mol SO3] x [6.02 x 10^23

atoms O/1mol O] 

= 6.8628 x 10^23 sulfur atoms 

hope this helps:-)

Is supersaturation possible if recrystallization occurs as a solution of a solid in water cools?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Supersaturation is possible

Explanation:

As a solution of solid in water cools, the dissolved solid would begin to reappear as the solution is now supersaturated at that lower temperature.

When the temperature of a solution is increased, more solute are able to dissolve in solution. A supersaturated solution is one that contains more than the required amount of solute needed to saturate the solution at that particular temperature.
