Sulfur and fluorine form several different compounds including sulfur hexafluoride and sulfur tetrafluoride. Decomposition of a
sample of sulfur hexafluoride produced 4.44 g of fluorine and 1.25 g of sulfur, while decomposition of a sample of sulfur tetrafluoride produced 4.44 g of fluorine and 1.88 g of sulfur. Calculate the mass of fluorine per gram of sulfur for the sample of sulfur hexafluoride.
When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.
