Determine the change in energy when an electron transitions from n= to n=5?

Chemistry

Sati [7]3 years ago

Answer:

ΔE  = 13.056 ev

Explanation:

Energy associated with nth state is,

En =  -13.6/n²

For n = 1

E₁ = -13.6 / 1²

E₁ = -13.6/1

E₁ = -13.6 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₁ = 13.6 ev

For n = 5

E₅ = -13.6 / 5²

E₅ = -13.6/25

E₅ = -0.544 ev

Kinetic energy of electron = -E₅ = 0.544 ev

Wavelength of radiation emitted:

ΔE = hc/λ = E₅ - E₁

by putting values,

ΔE  = -0.544ev  - (-13.6 ev  )

ΔE  = 13.056 ev

Compare photons of gamma and radio radiation. which has: the longer wavelength? the greater frequency? the greater energy?
Nataly [62]
<span>Gamma radiation has a shorter wavelength, a higher frequency and higher energy than radio radiation. Wavelength is inverse to frequency and energy (i.e. higher wavelength means lower frequency and lower energy, and vice versa).</span>
