Answer:  A. The electron moves from a lower energy orbital to a higher energy orbital.

Explanation:  When a sufficient amount of energy is provided to the electron, it gets excited from a lower enrgy orbital to the higher energy orbital.

In moving from lower enrgy orbital to the higher one, it absorb some molecular energy. And thus when it comes back to the ground state , it will release this energy in the form of light and thus color appears.

How many mol of nitrogen is in 0.30 mol of caffeine
creativ13 [48]
Recall that a mole is defined as Avogadros number of particles.
What the formula of caffeine basically tells us is that for every molecule of caffeine, you will have 4 atoms of nitrogen
So, if we have 0.3 moles of caffeine we will have 4*0.3 moles of nitrogen which is 0.12.
And you got the idea

Select True or False: A "gas" is a substance in which the molecules are separated on the average by distances that are large com
marta [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The gaseous state is characterized in that the cohesion forces are usually null, in which the particles have their maximum mobility. The particles tend to occupy all the available volume, so their shape and volume are variable. The gaseous state is a dispersed state of matter, which means that the molecules are separated by distances much larger than the diameter of the gas molecules.
