When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy. The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

What are hybrid orbitals?
Ann [662]
Hybrid Orbitals: are used to describe the orbitals in covalently bonded atoms sp,sp2,sp3

You can find the hybridization by adding the number of bonded atoms and the number of lone pairs.

For example in BF3. The central atom (B) is bonded to three atoms. So the hybridization is sp2

In NH3, the central atom (N) is bonded to three atoms and has one lone pair. The hybridization is sp3

A gas at 200 K occupies a volume of 350 ml. What temperature is needed to increase the volume
Rudik [331]

Answer: Temperature in constant pressure is 286 K

Explanation: If pressure remains constant, then V/T = constant.

V1 = 350 ml and T1 = 200 K and V2 = 500 ml.  V1/T1 = V2/T2

and T2 = T1· V2 / V1 = 200 K · 500 ml / 300 ml = 285,7 K
