Answer: Gaseous

Explanation: Straight Chain hydrocarbon having three carbon atoms is known as Propane. It molecular formula is

CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}

Inter molecular forces of attraction that is London Dispersion Forces existing between its molecules are weaker that is why the propane is gaseous in nature at room temperature.

It is also used in LPG. Boiling Point of propane is -42° C.

<span>The straight-chain hydrocarbon containing three carbon atoms is propane. It's molecular formula is C3H8.

Following is the structure of propane
CH3-CH2-CH3

Boiling point of propane is -42 oC, this suggest that propane is gas at room temperature. </span>

Rydberg formula is given by:

$\frac{1}{\lambda } = R_{H}\times (\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}} )$

where, $R_{H}$ = Rydberg constant = $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} per metre$

$\lambda$ = wavelength

$n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ are the level of transitions.

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 6

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{6^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{36} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0278 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times 0.23$

= $0.2523958\times 10^{7}$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{0.2523958\times 10^{7}}$

= $3.9620\times 10^{-7} m$

= $396.20\times 10^{-9} m$

= $396.20 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 5

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{5^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.04 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.21 )$

= $0.230 \times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.230 \times 10^{7}}$

= $4.3478 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $434.78\times 10^{-9} m$

= $434.78 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 4

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{4^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.0625 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.1875 )$

= $0.20575 \times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.20575 \times 10^{7}}$

= $4.8602 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $486.02 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $486.02 nm$

Now, for $n_{1}$ = 2 and $n_{2}$ = 3

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (\frac{1}{2^{2}}-\frac{1}{3^{2}} )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.25-0.12 )$

= $1.0973731568508 \times 10^{7} \times (0.13 )$

= $0.1426585\times 10^{7}$

$\lambda= \frac{1}{0.1426585\times 10^{7}}$

= $7.0097 \times 10^{-7} m$

= $700.97 \times 10^{-9} m$

= $700.97 nm$

Hi!

<u>The correct options would be: </u>

is an electron

is emitted from nucleus

has a -1 charge

Explanation:

A beta particle is a result of a neutron (a neutral particle) changing into two particles of opposite charges - a high energy electron (with a negative charge -1) and a positron (with a positive charge +1). Neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom, and thus the beta particles are said to be emitted from the nucleus. They do have a charge, not zero, but it is not +2 and can only be either -1 or +1. This form of radiation is not electromagnetic energy because beta particles are massless, and do not travel at the speed of light (both being characteristics of electromagnetic radiation). Beta particles are not pure forms of energy.

Hope this helps.

Answer: A) Sodium Na and Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

In the period table, you can see that Sodium (group 1) has 11 protons, and Magnesium (group 2) has 12 protons. 11+12=23 protons

How does atomic hydrogen torch function for cutting and welding purposes

lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

atomic hydrogen torch utilizes an electric arc whereby two closely - but not touching electrodes - result in the release of powerful electric spark as the current tries to flow through the gap. The gap is filled with hydrogen gas in an atomic hydrogen torch rather than air. The electric arch is split the hydrogen gas molecules into hydrogen atoms (some in plasma form). When the hydrogen atoms land on cooler objects like the metal being welded or cut, they region back to H₂ molecules releasing enormous amounts of heat on the surface. Surface temperatures can reach 4000 °C. The use of hydrogen gas protects the metal being welded from oxidation. Oxidation may compromise the quality of the weld.
