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

Chemistry
1 answer:
neonofarm [45]2 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

How does the size change when an atom forms a cation and when an atom forms an anion?
mario62 [17]
<span>A cation is an atom that loses a valence electron. When a valence electron is released there is one electron less to create a repulsive force. The loss of a repulsive force will allow the atom to pull tighter together. An anion would therefore be larger in size due to increased repulsion of the valence electrons.</span>

Given: logK=nE∘0.0592 What is the value K for this redox reaction? Zn2+(aq) + 2 Cl−(aq) → Zn(s) + Cl2(
anygoal [31]

<em>K</em> = 2.4 × 10^(-72)

<em>Step 1</em>. Determine the <em>value of n </em>

Zn^(2+) + 2e^(-) → Zn

2Cl^(-) → Cl_2 + 2e^(-)

Zn^(2+) + 2Cl^(-) → Zn + Cl_2

∴ <em>n</em> = 2

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate <em>K</em>

log<em>K</em> = <em>nE</em>°/0.0592 V = [2 × (-2.12 V)]/0.0592 V = -71.62

<em>K</em> = 10^(-71.62) = 2.4 × 10^(-72)

In what areas of the periodic table do you find the least reactive elements?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Noble gases are nonreactive, nonmetallic elements in group 18 of the periodic table. Noble gases are the least reactive of all elements. That's because they have eight valence electrons, which fill their outer energy level.
