Answer:
light is the result of electrons moving between defined energy levels in an atom called shells.
Explanation:
when something exited an atom like collision with another atom or a chemical reaction, an electron may absorb energy boosting it to a higher level shell.
Answer:
Explanation:
What we need to do here is to determine the ratios by using the Rydberg equation starting with the transition to n1 = 1, 2,3, etc and see which one fits the data. Remember the question states that they are series and the wavelengths will be for increasing energy levels.
1/λ = Rh x ( 1/n₁² - 1/n₂²)
Lyman series ( n₁=1 and n₂= 2,3 etc) for the first two lines, the ratios will be:
1/λ₁ /1/λ₂ =(1/1 -1/ 2²) / (1/1 -1/ 3²) ⇒ 0.84 ≠ 0.74 (the first ratio)
For Balmer series n₁ = 2 and n₂ = 3,4,5, etc
1/λ₁ /1/λ₂ =(1/4 -1/3²) / (1/4 -1/4²) ⇒ 0.741 = 0.741 (match!)
Lets use the third line to check our answer:
1/λ₁ /1/λ₂ =(1/4 -1/3²) / (1/4 -1/5²) = 0.66
Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes
Explanation:
Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide
2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO
Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.
2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2
The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.
