What is the wavelength of a photon that will be emitted when an electron in the hydrogen atom moves from n

Chemistry

tigry1 [53]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Use the Rydberg Equation 1/λ = R(1/n²(final) - 1/n²(initial) where R = 109,678 cm⁻¹. Substitute initial orbital number and final orbital number and solve for wavelength (λ).

Explanation:

Example:

Assume an electron transition from n = 5 to n = 2.

1/λ = 109,678cm⁻¹(1/2² - 1/5²) = 109,678(0.25 - 0.04)cm⁻¹ = 23,032cm⁻¹

λ = 1/23,032cm⁻¹ = 4.34 x 10⁻⁵cm x 10⁻²m/cm x 10⁹nm/m = 434nm

irakobra [83]

80% copper (Cu)

Cu: 80 :  63.546 = 1.259

O: 20 : 16 = 1.25

Cu:O = 1 : 1

the formula: CuO

89% copper (Cu)

Cu: 89 :  63.546 = 1.4

O: 11 : 16 = 0.6875

Cu:O = 2:1

the formula: Cu₂O

As you move from left to right across the periodic table elements ?
Sidana [21]

Explanation:

Quite a number of properties varies across a period. Some remains constant whereas others decreases.

As one moves from left to right;

  • The energy level remains the same.
  • The ionization energy increases progressively as a result of increasing nuclear charge.
  • Electron affinity increases from left to right.
  • Electronegativity increases.
  • Electropositivity decreases.
