A hydrogen atom in an excited state can be ionized with less energy than when it is in its ground state. What is n for a hydroge

n atom if 0.544 eV of energy can ionize it?

Explanation:

It is known that formula for the ionization energy of hydrogen atom is as follows.

               E = \frac{13.6 eV}{n^{2}}

or,          n = \sqrt{\frac{13.6}{E}}

The value of energy is given as 0.544 eV. Therefore, we will calculate the value of n as follows.

                   n = \sqrt{\frac{13.6}{E}}

                      = \sqrt{\frac{13.6}{0.544 eV}}

                      = 5

Thus, we can conclude that n equals to 5 for a hydrogen atom if 0.544 eV of energy can ionize it.

How do I find the rate of reaction on a graph
Nonamiya [84]

Rate of reaction can be understood as the rate of change of the materials, such as the rate of depletion of the reactants or the rate of production of products.  Therefore, if a graph of concentration and time is plotted, the rate of reaction is simply the slope of the graph.

Exposure of silver Chloride to sunlight for a long<br>duration turns grey due to​
Tema [17]

Answer:

Exposure of silver chloride to sunlight for a long duration turns grey due to​ photolytic decomposition i.e decomposition in the presence of sunlight.

Explanation:

When silver chloride, AgCl is exposed to sunlight for a long time, it will undergo decomposition as the sunlight provides sufficient energy needed to decomposed the salt, AgCl to metallic silver and chlorine gas. This can be seen in the equation below:

2AgCl —> 2Ag + Cl2

4.a) Draw two Lewis structures for HCP; one where C is central and one where P is central: b) Calculate formal charge for each a
love history [14]

One Hydrogen atom (H) and one Oxygen atom (O) surround the central Carbon atom (C) in the HCP Lewis structure (O). Carbon (C) and Phosphorus (P) have a triple bond, and Carbon (C) and Hydrogen (H) have a single bond.

<h3>How can you choose the ideal format for a formal charge?</h3>

The Lewis structure with the negative formal charges on the most electronegative atoms is the one to choose from when faced with a choice between numerous Lewis structures with similar formal charge distributions.

<h3>How do you determine the preferred resonance structure?</h3>

The resonance forms with the fewest non-zero formal charge atoms are selected. Resonance develops atoms that have a negative formal charge or are the most electronegative are preferred.

Which pairing below does not correctly match the scientist with the contribution to the understanding of the atom? A. Proust and
Lyrx [107]
The answer would be C. In fact, letter A already defines the Law of Definite Proportions. On the other hand, J.J. Thomson was responsible for the discovery of electrons through cathode ray tube experiments. The rest of the choices are true.
