Which scenario BEST describes how an atom produces light?

Chemistry

oksian1 [2.3K]3 years ago
7 0

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.

e-lub [12.9K]

The general process for coal mining and refining is option C.

Coal mining is carried out by two main processes based on the depth, quality, thickness, and structure of coal seam. Based on the depth, coal seam of less than 180ft to the surface is surface mined while coal seems between 180ft.-300ft. are deep mined. The coal mined is transported to a nearby processing plant using a conveyor, train, ship, etc. where it is washed to remove other component like dirt, sulphur, rocks, etc. and afterwards dried.

At 500 degree C, F_2 gas is stable and does not dissociate, but at 840 degree C, some dissociation occurs: F_2 (g) 2 F(g). A fla
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

2.73 is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of F_2 gas at 840 degree Celsius.

Explanation:

F_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2F(g)

Initial

0.600 atm    0

Equilibrium

(0.600 atm - p)        2p

Total pressure at equilibrium = P = 0.984 atm

P= 0.600 atm - p)+2p=0.984 atm

p = 0.384 atm

Partial pressure of the F_2 gas , p_{f_2}= (0.600 atm - 0.384 atm)=0.216 atm

Partial pressure of the F gas, p_{f} = 2(0.384 atm)=0.768 atm

K_p=\frac{(p_{F})^2}{p_{F_2}}

K_p=\frac{(0.768 atm)^2}{0.216 atm}=2.73

2.73 is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of F_2 gas at 840 degree Celsius.

Suppose the mass of a jelly bean is less than the mass of a gum drop.
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Since it is given that the mass of a jelly bean is less than the mass of a gum drop.

So, when we counted out 10 of each kind of candy and measured the mass of each kind of candy, the mass of the jellybeans would be less than the mass of the gumdrops.

This is because mass of jelly bean is less and even if we take take or more jelly beans then also their total mass will remain less than the total mass of same number of gum drops
