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.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 6.2 x 102 g of aluminum by 20°C (specific heat of aluminum =0.21 cal/g°C?
RoseWind [281]
The heat required to raise the temperature of a certain mass of sample to a specific temperature change, we use the formula mCpΔT where m is mass, Cp is the specific heat of the substance and ΔT is the temperature change. In this case, we substitute and form 6.2 x102 g x 0.21 cal/g C *20 C equal to 2604 calories.

What's the IUPAC name O || CH3CH2CH2CH2COCH3
Lynna [10]

Answer:

2-hexanone

Explanation:

Since we are asked to find the IUPAC Name;

First thing we need to do is to identify the functional group.

In this case it is ketone group, because the formula for ketone is CnH2nO.

Thus, the last suffix will be -one.

Secondly, secondly, we will find the longest carbon chain which in this case is 6. Six has the prefix "hex-"

The Formula has no branches group.

Thus, we can call it 2-hexanone
