Explain why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength

Chemistry
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels to a lower one</em>, the excess energy is emitted as a photon of light, with its wavelength dependent on the change in electron energy. This is why an atom can only emit specific wavelengths of light and not every possible wavelength.

What generates electricity
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Electricity is most often generated at a power plant by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. Other energy sources include solar photovoltaics and geothermal power.

Or each set of elements represented in this periodic table outline, identify the principal quantum number, n , and the azimuthal
Tems11 [23]
The answer is potassium. It would be 4, and for neon would be 2. Just total which row of the periodic table you are on. The "L" tells you whether the highest-energy electron is in an "s" orbital (L=0) or a "p" orbital (L=1) or a "d" orbital (L=2) or an "f" orbital (L=3). The way in which these orbitals are filled is: for each of the first three rows (up to argon), two electrons in the "s" orbital are filled first, then 6 electrons in the "p"orbitals. The row where the potassium also starts with filling the "s" orbital at the new "n" level (4) but then goes back to satisfying up the "d" orbitals of n=3 before it seals up the "p"s for n=4.

a metal
a metal oxide
a carbonate
3. I don’t know this one
4. A term base or glossary is a database containing single words or expressions related to a specific subject.
5. Strong acid is an acid that ionizes completely in aqueous solution. It always loses a proton (H+) when dissolved in water. Weak acid is an acid that ionizes partially in a solution. ... Because the rate of reaction depends upon the degree of dissociation αand strong acids have higher degrees of dissociation.

Consider a balloon with volume V. It contains n moles of gas and has an internal pressure of P. The temperature of the gas is T.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

V₂ = 0.6 V.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n is constant, and have different values of P, V and T:

<em>(P₁V₁T₂) = (P₂V₂T₁).</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = V, P₁ = P, T₁ = T.

V₂ = ??? V, ​P₂ = 1.25 P, T₂ = 0.75 T.

<em>∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁) =</em> (P)(V)(0.75 T)/(1.25 P)(T)<em> = 0.6 V.</em>
