Describe how light is emitted from an atom. A) As protons absorb energy they travel from the nucleus through the atom emitting l

ight along the way. B) The light is emitted when energy from sunlight is absorbed by the atom to excite a neutron into a higher level. C) When the nucleus absorbs sunlight, photons are energized and move to a higher energy level and are then released. D) Light is emitted from an atom as an electron falls from an excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Answer is: D) Light is emitted from an atom as an electron falls from an excited state to the ground state releasing a photon.

Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν (energy difference of the levels).

When electron jump from higher to lower energy level (shell), it emitting (releasing) energy.

For example, when the electron changes from n=4 (fouth shell) to n=2 (second shell), the photons are emitted.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955) proposed that a beam of light is a collection of discrete wave packets (photons) with energy hν, where h is Planck constant and ν is frequency.

The photons have a characteristic energy proportional to the frequency of the light.

Minimum frequency or the threshold frequency is energy below which no photoelectrons are emitted.  

Above the minimum frequency, energy depends on the frequency of the light, not on the intensity of the light.

Select the molecule where free rotation around one or more bonds is not possible. Group of answer choices N2H4 C2Cl4 NH3 C2H6 CC
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C₂Cl₄

Explanation:

To know if free rotation around a bond in a compound is possible, we need to see the structure of the compound (picture in attachment).

In single bonds, which are formed by σ bonds, the atoms are not fixed in a single position, and free rotation is permitted.

Double and triple bonds are formed by a σ bond and one or two π bonds, respectively. These bonds do not allow rotation, since it is not possible to twist the ends without breaking the π bond.

The chloroethylene (C₂Cl₄) has two carbons with an sp2-sp2 hybridization, they are bonded together by a double bond. <u>Free rotation on this bond is not possible, because six atoms, including the carbon atoms, doubly bonded and the four chlorine atoms bonded to them, must be on the same plane. </u>
