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 is the gram formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2
Georgia [21]
Mass Molar of Ca_{3} (PO_4)_2
Ca = 3*40 = 120 amu
P = 2*31= 62 amu
O = (16*4)*2 = 64*2 = 128 amu
--------------------------------------
Mass Molar of Ca_{3} (PO_4)_2 = 120 + 62 + 128 = 310 g/mol

Therefore: <span>What is the gram formula mass of Ca3(PO4)2 ?
</span>Answer: 310 grams

How many oxygen (O) atoms are involved in this chemical reaction?<br><br> 2Fe(OH)3 — Fe2O3 + 3H20
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

6 oxygen atoms

Explanation:

From the equation,

2Fe(OH)₃ → Fe₂O₃ + 3H₂O

From the reactant (left hand side) we have 2 moles of Fe(OH)₃ having (2 * 3 = 6) atoms of oxygen and decomposed to give Fe₂O₃ which contains 3 atoms of oxygen and 3 moles of water that also contains 3 atoms of oxygen.

Since the number of oxygen participating in the reaction is independent on the product (not a reversible reaction) then the total number of oxygen atoms participating in the reaction is 6

Formation. Main-sequence stars, including the sun, form from clouds of dust and gas drawn together by gravity. ... The core that is left behind will be a white dwarf, a husk of a star in which no hydrogen fusion occurs. Smaller stars, such as red dwarfs, don't make it to the red giant state.

Explain why the electron configuration of 2-3-1 represents an atom in an excited state?
baherus [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If we look at the electron configuration closely, we will discover that the element must have had a ground state electron configuration of 2,4.

This is because, the innermost shell usually holds two electrons while the outer shells hold eight electrons each. The four electrons must be accommodated in the second shell in the ground state configuration of the compound.

However, when the atom is excited, one electron from this shell may move to the third shell to give the excited state configuration 2-3-1 as shown in the question.
