Answer:
All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons.
Explanation:
Increase the frequency to a higher frequency
4p, 3d, 3p, 3s, 2p, 2s and 1s orbitals may be occupied during de-excitation.<span />
Answer:
I can't draw diagrams on this web site but I can do with numbers I think. So an electron is moved from n = 1 to n = 5. I'm assuming I've interpreted the problem correctly; if not you will need to make a correction. I'm assuming that you know the electron in the n = 1 state is the ground state so the 4th exited state moves it to the n = 5 level.
n = 5 4th excited state
n = 4 3rd excited state
n = 3 2nd excited state
n = 2 1st excited state
n = 1 ground state
Here are the possible spectral lines.
n = 5 to 4, n = 5 to 3, n = 5 to 2, n = 5 to 1 or 4 lines.
n = 4 to 3, 4 to 2, 4 to 1 = 3 lines
n = 3 to 2, 3 to 1 = 2 lines
n = 2 to 1 = 1 line. Add 'em up. I get 10.
b. The Lyman series is from whatever to n = 1. Count the above that end in n = 1.
c.The E for any level is -21.8E-19 Joules/n^2
To find the E for any transition (delta E) take E for upper n and subtract from the E for the lower n and that gives you delta E for the transition.
So for n = 5 to n = 1, use -Efor 5 -(-Efor 1) = + something which I'll leave for you. You could convert that to wavelength in meters with delta E = hc/wavelength. You might want to try it for the Balmer series (n ending in n = 2). I think the red line is about 650 nm.
