Question 13: Consider the strength of the Hβ absorption line in the spectra of stars of various surface temperatures. This is th

e amount of light that is missing from the spectra because Hydrogen electrons have absorbed the photons and jumped from level 2 to level 4. How do you think the strength of Hβ absorption varies with stellar surface temperature?

Answer:

The absorption and strength of the H-beta lines change with the temperature of the stellar surface, and because of this, one can find the temperature of the star from their absorption lines and strength. To better comprehend, let us look into the concept of the atom's atomic structure.  

Atoms possess distinct energy levels and these levels of energy are constant, that is, the temperature has no influence on it. However, temperature possesses an influence on the electron numbers found within these levels of energy. Therefore, to generate an absorption line of hydrogen in the electromagnetic spectrum's visible band, the electrons are required to be present in the second energy level, that is when it captivates a photon.  

Therefore, after captivating the photons the electrons jump from level 2 to level 4, which shows that there is an increase in the stellar surface temperature and at the same time one can witness a decline in the strength of the H-beta lines. In case, if the temperature of the surface increases too much, then one will witness no attachment of electron with the hydrogen atom and thus no H lines, and if the temperature of the surface becomes too low, then the electrons will stay in the ground state and no formation of H lines will take place in that condition too.  

Hence, to generate a very robust H line, after captivating photons the majority of the electrons are required to stay in the second energy level.

Give the nuclear symbol for the isotope of beryllium for which a=10? enter the nuclear symbol for the isotope (e.g., 42he).
galben [10]
An isotope is defined as an element that has the same number of protons as the common element but different number of neutrons. In this case, a beryllium atom has a molar weight of 10 amu. Thus, there are 4 protons and 6 neutrons. The nuclear symbol of Be-10 is 4 Be10

1. Why is carbon dioxide a gas at low temperatures at mars
wlad13 [49]

1. carbon dioxide is a gas at low temperatures at mars because in the oxidizing environment organic compounds are oxidized to form carbon dioxide.

2. The 1 electron in outermost shell of Na is shared with 7 electrons of outermost shell of chlorine giving neutral charge on compound.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal.

4. When metal and non metal exchange electrons to form a neutral or no charge compound it is said to have form ionic bonds.

Explanation:

1. Temperature at Mars is very low -80 Fahrenheit  (-60 degrees) because water is not present in the planet. Carbon dioxide is abundant in Mars. The atmosphere is oxidizing at Mars which oxidizes the organic compounds and forms carbon dioxide.

2. NaCl combines by sharing of electrons forming ionic bonding. Different atoms of the different element share electrons to form ionic bonds. Such bond is formed when electrons is transferred between the atoms. In the NaCl, Na has 1 electron (electropositive) in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons (electronegative). Both share the electrons getting their octet complete and a neutral charge on the compound formed.

3. Electrostatic force of attraction is between the metal and non-metal when bond is formed. The ionic bonds is formed between metal and non metals when electron exchange takes place. The electrostatic force is the attraction between two opposite charges on the ion.

4. When a metal and non metal exchange electrons in which metal is electropositive and non metal is electronegative the bonds form is called ionic bond. The electron is transferred from metal to non metal and thus giving neutral charge on the compound i.e. the outer shell has its octet complete.

Which diagram shows electrons violating the Pauli exclusion principle?
Neporo4naja [7]
Correct Answer: Option C

Reason:
<span>The </span>Pauli Exclusion Principle<span> states as '<em>in an atom or molecule, no two electrons can have the same four electronic quantum numbers. Further, an orbital can contain a maximum of only two electrons, the two electrons must have opposing spins.</em>'
</span>
Thus, it can be seen that in option C, electrons in last 2 subshell have electrons with same spin, which is a violation of Pauli Exclusion Principle .
