What is carbon fixation??

1 answer:

4 0

Carbon fixation refers to the conversion process of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) to organic compounds by living organisms. The most prominent example is photosynthesis, although chemo synthesis is another form of carbon fixation that can take place in the absence of sunlight.

What name was given to noxious vapour, rising from organic matter, which pollutes the atmosphere??

Flauer [41]

The noxious vapor that rises from organic matter is known as methane. Methane is one of the greatest contributors to the greenhouse effect, and one of the greatest sources of methane on the planet is from cattle farms. Cattle produce tons of methane per year, and there are massive cattle farms across the globe to keep up with the demand of milk and red meat.

Fireworks that contain metallic salts such as sodium, strontium, and barium can generate bright colors. A technician investigate

Alex777 [14]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

3. Each atom has unique electron energy level when compared to other, when electron relaxes from an excited energy level, it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves with energy equals to the difference between energy of ground and excited state. As electromagnetic wave wavelength obeys planck relation

$c = \lambda f$

And the energy of each photon in electromangetic wave of specific frequency is

$E=hf$

Where h is planck's constant

We can see that the wavelength, which determines color and position of bright line in spectroscope corresponds directly to the energy of electromagnetic wave, and thus, the characteristic energy of atom.

4. From the answer above, you now know that electronic transition can emit electron with specific wavelength. In strontium, emission of colored light occurs by the relaxation of electrons in excited state such that the difference between excited energy level and ground level falls in the energy of visible light spectral range.

5. In Na, ground state configuration is 2-8-1. 2-7-1-1 indicates that one of electron in ground state got excited by external energy to excited state, and thus, indicates that Na atom is in excited state
