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.

Periodic Table: Why are group 1A elements called alkali metals?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The elements in Group I of the periodic table are called alkali metals. They are called alkali metals because they react with water to form alkali solutions. These metals are very reactive; hence they have to be stored under oil to protect them from corrosion by air and waterwaterwater

Why is it that the decomposition of nitroglycerin can result in so
patriot [66]

Answer:

with the molecular formula C3H5(ONO2)3, has a high nitrogen content (18.5 percent) and contains sufficient oxygen atoms to oxidize the carbon and hydrogen atoms while nitrogen is being liberated, so that it is one of the most powerful explosives known.

Explanation:

NTG reduces preload via venous dilation, and achieves modest afterload reduction via arterial dilation. These effects result in decreased myocardial oxygen demand. In addition, NTG induces coronary vasodilation, thereby increasing oxygen delivery.

Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (01.01 MC) Dominic and Eva are using the same type of stopwatches to measure the time
LekaFEV [45]
The results of Dominic and Eva's experiment is unreliable and can lead to a pseudoscientific claim primarily because they did not repeat their tests multiple times. Although, they used the same type of stopwatch in recording the time it takes for the chemical reaction to occur, they have different reactions times. Thus, it would have been better if they conducted several trials then obtained the average of their results.

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids? Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sul
Nata [24]

Answer:

1. How do metals and non-metals react with acids?

Ans : Non metals does not react with acids while metals react with acids and produce hydrogen gas that burns with a 'pop'sound.

2. Write and explain the chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with sulphuric acid and aluminium with hydrochloric acid.

Magnesium + sulphuric acid = Hydrogen + salt

Mg(s) + H2SO4 (aq) MgSO 4(aq) +H2 (g)

Aluminium + Hydrochloric acid = Hydrogen + Aluminium chloride

2Al(s)+6HCl(aq)→2AlCl3(aq)+3H2(g)
