An electron moves from an excited state back to the ground state releasing

Explanation:

The first step in this problem is to convert the wavelength, λ, to a frequency, ν, and

then calculate the energy of the photon using ε = hν. In such problems you must take

care to use a consistent set of units. We will use S.I. units. Thus,

λ = 18900 Å = 18900 x 10–10 m = 1.89 x 10–6 m

The frequency associated with this wavelength is given by:

ν = c/λ = (3.00 x 108 m s–1 ) / (1.89 x 10–6 m) = 1.59 x 1014 s–1

The energy ε associated with a photon of this frequency is:

ε = h ν = (6.626 x 10–34 J s) (1.59 x 1014 s–1) = 1.05 x 10–19 J

Note -- the ENERGY of this photon corresponds to a DIFFERENCE between

energy levels of the H atom

The energy levels for the H atom are given by:

εn = (–21.8 x 10–19 J) / n2 ; where n = 1,2,3,4,.............

Thus, ε1 = –21.8 x 10–19 J; ε2 = –5.45 x 10–19 J

ε3 = –2.42 x 10–19 J; ε4 = –1.36 x 10–19 J

We now seek an ENERGY LEVEL DIFFERENCE which matches the energy of the

photon.

We see that the electronic transition which gives rise to an EMITTED photon with

energy ε = 1.05 x 10–19 J is:

ninitial = 4 → nfinal = 3

2. A series of spectral lines in emission is characterized by a common value of nfinal -- i.e.

the quantum number of the level at which the transition terminates. Since the 18900 Å

line arises from a transition in which ninitial = 4 and nfinal = 3, the series to which it

belongs is characterized by nfinal = 3. The series limit for this series of emission lines is

the wavelength that would correspond to the transition ninitial = ∞ to nfinal = 3

From the energy level expression given in problem1 we see that:

ε∞ = (–21.8 x 10–19 J) (1/ ∞2) = 0

Write the name of the alkyne next to the drawing of the molecule. (2 points)
azamat

1) 1-Pentyne

2) But-2-yne

3) Ethyne

4) 1-Propyne

5) 1-Butyne

6) Pent-2-yne

<h3>What is alkyne?</h3>

Molecules that contain a triple bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkynes.

1) The number of carbon on the longest chain = 5, (two carbon atoms between the triple bond) therefore the prefix is pen-

The functional group is the triple bond on the first carbon with the suffix -yne

The name of the compound is 1-Pentyne

2) There are 4 carbon atoms on the longest chain, therefore, the prefix is but-

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix; -yne) is on the second carbon atom

Therefore, the name of the compound is But-2-yne

3) The triple bond functional group is between the only two carbon atoms, therefore, the name is Ethyne

4) The number of carbon atoms = 3, with a prefix prop-, and the functional group on the first carbon atom on the longest chain is the triple bond, with suffix -yne

Therefore, the name of the compound is 1-Propyne

5) The number of carbon atoms on the longest chain = 4, the prefix is but-

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix -yne) is on the first carbon atom

Therefore, the name is 1-Butyne

6) The number of carbon atoms on the longest chain = 5, the prefix of the compound is pen-

The location of the triple bond functional group (suffix; -yne) is on the second carbon atom, therefore;

The name of the compound is Pent-2-yne

Which one of the following descriptions relating to nuclear reactions is correct?
monitta

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Using diverse nutrient sources can help maintain soil health. Manure and compost add organic matter as well as an array of nutrients, but using just compost or manure to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop every year can result in excessive phosphorus levels in the soil.
