Heating an atom excites its electrons and they jump to higher energy levels. When the electrons return to lower energy levels, they emit energy in the form of light. ... Every element has a different number of electrons and a different set of energy levels. Thus, each element emits its own set of colours.

A change involving whole atoms is called _____.
givi [52]

Answer is: chemical.

If the arrangement of particles is changed, that is chemical change or chemical reaction (new substance is formed).

In physical change, the bonds between oxygen and hydrogen can not be separated.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: 2Mg(s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO(s).

Chemical changes (chemical synthesis) is when a substance combines with another (in this example magnesium and oxygen) to form a new substance.

The heat of vaporization of water is 2,260 J. How much energy is released when 20 grams of steam is condensed at 100°C? *
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water  = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation  = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

          H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

 Insert the parameters and solve;

          H  = 20g x 2260J/g

           H = 45200J
