The number of energy levels to which an electron can jump depends on the amount of energy the electron possesses. Each energy level has a specific amount of energy an electron needs to have before it can be in there. So, if an electron doesn't have enough energy to be in that energy level then it won't jump to that higher level.
Yes. Mercury has 80 protons. Tin has 50 protons. Same for electrons, it just doesn't have an exact number.
Electrons are only
about 0.054% as massive as neutrons and protons are only 99.86% as massive as
the neutrons. The mass of the Proton is 1.67 x 10^-27 kg and the mass of the electron
is 9.11 x 10^-31 kg. The mass of the electron is so much lighter than the mass
of the proton.
It is called convection. When warm air, or current, moves up and disperse outwards as cold air, or current, moves into the warmer region.
A gauge records the pressure over atmospheric pressure (0kpa on the gauge is actually the atmospheric pressure and a reading of 276kpa is 276kpa over atmospheric pressure). That means that means that to find absolute pressure you just add atmospheric pressure (around 1atm (101kpa)) to 286kpa to get 387kpa. I hope this helps.
