1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
When adding or subtracting values, you must round your answer to the same "place" as the measurement with its last significant figure furthest to the left.
That is, you round off to the same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places.
The measurement of 28.1 cm has one digit after the decimal point, so you round the sum to have only one digit to the right of the decimal.
However, the number to be dropped (51) is greater than 5 with only zeros or nothing following the 5.
You must round up the answer. You increase the last significant digit by one.

Explanation:
According to Bohr's postulates, the electron in the present in the lower energy level can absorb energy and exits to higher energy level. Also, when this electron returns back to its orbit, it emits some energy.
Since the hydrogen consists of 1 electron and 1 proton. The lowest energy configuration of the hydrogen is when n =1 or, when the electron is present in the K-shell or the ground state.
The possible transition for the electron given in the question is :
n = 2, 3 and 4
The schematic diagram of the hydrogen atom consisting of these four quantum levels in which the electron can jump (Absorption) and comeback to from these energy levels (emission) .
