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.

TIMED PLS HELP AND WILL GIVE BRAINLIST

Answer:

19.4 g of alum, will be its theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2 Al + 2 KOH + 4 H₂SO₄ + 22H₂O → 3H₂ + 2KAl(SO₄)₂•12H₂O

Let's determine the amount of acid.

M are the moles contained in 1 L of solution or it can be mmoles that are contained in 1 mL of solution

M = mmol /mL

M . mL = mmol

We replace: 8.3 mL . 9.9 M = 82.17 mmoles

We convert to moles: 82.17 mmol . 1 mol / 1000mmol = 0.082 moles

Ratio is 4:2

4 moles of sulfuric acid can make 2 moles of alum

By the way, 0.082 moles of acid may produce ( 0.082 . 2) /4 = 0.041085 moles.

We convert moles to mass:

Molar mass of alum is: 473.52 g/mol.

0.041085 moles . 473.52 g/mol = 19.4 g

In a hypothetical atom, electron N transitions between energy levels, giving off orange light in the transition. In the same ato

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer : Electron P has greater energy difference than the Electron N.

Explanation :

Wavelength range of violet light = 400 - 500 nm

Wavelength range of orange light = 600 - 700 nm

The Planck's equation is,

$E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

where,

E = energy of light

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light

According to the Planck's equation, wavelength and energy follow inverse relation. As the wavelength increases, energy decreases.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of violet light is less. We conclude that When electron P gives violet light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was high.

From the given spectrum, the wavelength of orange light is more. We conclude that When electron N gives orange light on transition it means that energy difference between the energy level was low.

So, Electron P which gives violet light on transition has greater energy difference than the Electron N.
