<span>When the electron in a hydrogen atom transitions from a high energy state to a lower energy state, the energy lost from the electron is used to produce a photon corresponding to the loss of energy. That photon will correspond to exactly 1 wavelength. And since a hydrogen atom has only 1 electron, at any given moment, it can only produce 1 photon. And in order to simultaneously produce 4 photons for 4 spectral lines, that would require a simultaneous transition of 4 electrons which is 3 too many for a hydrogen atom.</span>

Table below shows the electronegativities of four elements. Which of the following bonds is the most polar?
Contact [7]

 Lets find the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms;

C-H = 2.6-2.2 = 0.4

C-F = 4.0-2.6  = 1.4

F-F = 4.0-4.0   = 0

H-O = 3.4-2.2  = 1.2

Here the electronegativity difference is highest for C-F bond hence C-F bond is most polar.

14.2 grams of Na2SO4 is dissolved in water to make a 2.50 L
Trava [24]

Answer:

0.04 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Na₂SO₄= 14.2 g

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of Na₂SO₄:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 14.2 g/ 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.1 mol

Molarity :

Molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in L

Molarity = 0.1 mol / 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.04 M

Please please help :(
Bad White [126]

Answer: ¹²₅C

Explanation:

¹²₅C is incorrect. The superscript is the atomic mass. This varies between each element. The subscript is the atomic number. This doesn't change. You will see every element has the correct atomic atomic number except for Carbon. Carbon should have atomic number 6.
