Answer:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. ... The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

Answer:

Due to difference in the electronic energy level of atoms in different metals.

Explanation:

The subatomic particles are protons, electrons and neutrons.

When we talk about colors, the subatomic particle involved is electron.

An atom of a metal absorbs light and in this process the electrons gets exited (gain energy) and when they come back to ground state they emit light and thus the color appears.

In case of different metals the energy required for excitation of electrons is different (due to difference in the arrangement of electrons in the orbitals and difference in effective nuclear charge), thus the electrons in different metal atoms absorb light of different of wavelengths and end up in appearance of different colors.

Answer:

x = 4.17

y = 1.86

Explanation:

0.62 = log(x)

x = 10^0.62 = 4.17 ( to the nearest hundredth)

0.62 = ln(y)

y = e^0.62 = 1.86 (to the nearest hundredth)

If constant heat is added to ice water, what changes will take place and at what temperatures?
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

When you heat ice, its temperature rises, but as soon as the ice starts to melt, the temperature stays constant until all the ice has melted. This happens because all the heat energy goes into breaking the bonds of the ice's crystal lattice structure.   :)

Select the best single answer. Which of the following accurately lists compounds in order of increasing solubility in water? LiC
Ann [662]

Answer:

The Correct increasing order of solubility is O2 < Br2 < LiCl < Methanol (CH3OH)

Explanation:

Solubility of compounds or molecules are solely dependent on its inter molecular forces or bonding present in them.

Molecules with Hydrogen bonding usually very soluble in water. Ionic compounds are also very soluble in water because they form ions in solutions. Molecules that possess van der waal forces are usually insoluble in water because they are non-polar.

  • O2 (oxygen gas) and Br2 (bromine gas) have van der waal forces in them. Van der waal forces are stronger in Br2 (bromine gas) than O2 (oxygen gas) because Br2 has more number of electrons.
  • LiCl is ionic in nature which makes it dissolve in water readily. it easily forms its ions (Li+ and Cl- ) in solutions.
  • Methanol (CH3OH) has the highest solubility in water compared to LiCl, Br2 and O2 because it contains Hydrogen bonding which is strongest of all inter molecular forces.
