Answer:a quantum absorption of energy

Explanation:

Bohr’s model explains the spectral lines .While the electron of the atom remains in the ground state, its energy is unchanged. When the atom absorbs one or more quanta of energy, the electron moves from the ground state orbit to an excited state and when the atom relaxes back to a lower energy state, it releases energy that is again equal to the difference in energy of the two orbits.

Answer:

A quantum release of energy as electrons drop back to their ground state.

Explanation:

An atom of an element is said to be in its ground state when its electron is in the lowest energy orbit or shell of n=1.

However, when the electron absorbs energy it gets excited and jumps from this lower energy level to a higher energy level. Depending on the amount of energy absorbed, different energy orbits can be reached.

Also, in that excited state, the electron can lose energy and drop from orbit to orbit. This energy released is in discrete packets called quantum ( plural quanta ) and, using a spectrometer, can be observed as different lines, called the atomic line spectra, depending on the orbit the electron is dropping from.

A quantum of energy is given by:

E = hv = hc/

Where h = Planck's constant = 6.62 x 10-27 ergsec, c = velocity of light = 3 x 1010 cm/sec, v = frequency of the quantum energy emitted or absorbed in sec-1, = wavelength in cm.

There are 5 series of the atomic spectra in various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum for n = 1,2,3,4,5 respectively as, Lyman, Balmer, Paschen, Brackett, Pfund.

Which of the following conditions creates the largest waves?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

strong winds that blow in short spurts over a small distance

Explanation:

Generally, the most common factor that causes the largest waves in the ocean is winds. this is also called wind-driven waves of the ocean when the surface wind flows on the surface of the ocean, this disturbance creates the friction between surface wind and surface of the ocean which creates waves in the ocean

Answer : The products of the acid-base reaction between HClO_3 and LiOH are, LiClO_3 and H_2O

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product that means it reacts to give a neutral solution.  It is also known as acid-base reaction.

The acid-base reaction will be:

HClO_3+LiOH\rightarrow LiClO_3+H_2O

Therefore, the products of the acid-base reaction between HClO_3 and LiOH are, LiClO_3 and H_2O
