How is it possible for helium to have 8 spectral lines when it only has 2 electrons?

Chemistry

neonofarm [45]3 years ago

It has more lines in it compared to hydrogen emission spectrum. It is mainly because the helium atom has more electrons than a hydrogen atom. Therefore, more electrons get excited when we pass a white light beam through a helium sample, and it causes the emission of more spectral lines

The teal line of the hydrogen emission spectrum has a wavelength of 486.0 nm. A hydrogen emission spectrum has a violet, a blue,
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "4.08 × 10⁻¹⁹ Joule".

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength, λ = 486.0 nm

As we know,

E=h\upsilon =\frac{hc}{\lambda}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒          =\frac{1241.5 \ ev\ nm}{486 \ nm}

⇒          =2.554 \ ev

∴ 1 ev = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now,

Energy, E=2.554\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}

⇒               =4.08\times 10^{-19} Joule

frez [133]

Answer:

Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture is defined as a mixture in which the constituents of the mixture are uniformly distributed. A typical example of a homogeneous mixture is when a salt is dissolved in water.

A heterogeneous mixture refers to a kind of mixture whereby the composition of the mixture is not uniform. A typically example of a heterogeneous mixture is non-homogenized milk.

Since non-homogenized milk is not homogeneous, the cream rises to the top and separates from the rest of the mixture because the emulsion has not been stabilized. However, homogenized milk is just milk whose emulsion has been stabilized the cream does not separate when left to stand.

During reduction, which of the following is true? A. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number increases. B. Electrons are g
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. Electrons are gained, so the oxidation number decreases.

Explanation:

Reduction is the <em>gain of electrons</em>.

Oxidation number is the charge that an atom <em>appears</em> to have when we count its electrons in a specific way.

Electrons have a negative charge so, if an atom gains electrons, its charge (oxidation number) becomes more negative. The oxidation number decreases.

If electrons are given off, the atom is being oxidized. Loss of electrons is <em>oxidation</em>.
