Answer:
The wavelength of the emitted photon will be approximately 655 nm, which corresponds to the visible spectrum.
Explanation:
In order to answer this question, we need to recall Bohr's formula for the energy of each of the orbitals in the hydrogen atom:
, where:
[tex]m_{e}[tex] = electron mass
e = electron charge
[tex]\epsilon_{0}[tex] = vacuum permittivity
[tex]\hbar[tex] = Planck's constant over 2pi
n = quantum number
[tex]E_{1}[tex] = hydrogen's ground state = -13.6 eV
Therefore, the energy of the emitted photon is given by the difference of the energy in the 3d orbital minus the energy in the 2nd orbital:
[tex]E_{3} - E_{2} = -13.6 eV(\frac{1}{3^{2}} - \frac{1}{2^{2}})=1.89 eV[tex]
Now, knowing the energy of the photon, we can calculate its wavelength using the equation:
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}[tex], where:
E = Photon's energy
h = Planck's constant
c = speed of light in vacuum
[tex]\lambda[tex] = wavelength
Solving for [tex]\lambda[tex] and substituting the required values:
[tex]\lambda = \frac{hc}{E} = \frac{1.239 eV\mu m}{1.89 eV}=0.655\mu m = 655 nm[tex], which correspond to the visible spectrum (The visible spectrum includes wavelengths between 400 nm and 750 nm).
The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.
Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming molecule which is stable in nature.
Hence, is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
