Describe the cause of atomic emission spectrum of an element

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The de-exitation of electron to its lower energy level cause the emission spectrum of an element.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. This energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. These radiations gives the emission spectrum of that element. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The atomic emission spectrum of an element is produced by the energy released when an electron transitions from a higher to a lower energy level. This energy is emitted as light, creating a unique spectrum that can be used to identify the element.

Explanation:

The atomic emission spectrum of an element is caused by the energy released when an electron in an atom moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. When an atom absorbs energy, it moves its orbiting electrons to a higher energy level. However, these electrons cannot maintain this high energy state for long, forcing them to transition back to their original or lower energy level. The energy they release during this transition is emitted in the form of light, creating a unique emission spectrum.

For example, hydrogen has a characteristic series of emission lines in its spectrum (Balmer series) because the electrons in a hydrogen atom can occupy specific energy levels. When these electrons drop from a higher energy level to a lower one, they emit light of specific wavelengths, creating the unique atomic emission spectrum of hydrogen.

From top to bottom in most groups of elements, atomic radii tend to A. decrease because the nuclear charge increases. B. decrease because electrons are lost to other elements. C. increase because electrons are gained from other atoms. D. increase because additional energy levels are filled.

Answers

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Atomic radius is defined as the total distance from the nucleus to outermost orbital of the electron.

As moving from top to bottom, new shell is added around the nucleus. The outermost orbital gets far away from the nucleus and hence, the distance between the nucleus and outermost orbital gets increased.

Thus, the atomic radii of the elements increases as we move from top to bottom in a group.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

D. As more electrons are added to an element, the number of electron orbitals being filled increases

4. What parts of Dalton’s atomic theory no longer agree with the current picture of the atom? Provide an answer using 3 – 4 sentences in your own words.

Answers

Since you did not show anypicture, I will be describing Dalton’s atomic theory. The scientist thoughtthat the atom was the smallest particle in the universe is John Dalton. Heestablished five theories relating atoms. One, elements are made of extremelysmall particles called atoms. Two, atoms of different element have differentsizes, mass and physico – chemical properties. Three, atoms cannot be dividedfurther, destroyed or created. It also follows the law of conservation ofenergy. Fourth, atoms can combine to form compounds. And lastly, in chemicalreaction, atoms can be combined, separated or rearranged. 

dalton said that the atom is the smallest particle but now we know that an atom can be divided into electron proton and neutron.

Which balanced equation represents a fusion reaction?

Answers

Fusion reaction is a type of nuclear reaction where two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. This happens when the collision is in a very high speed. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to photons.

A student assisting with the experiment would observe all of the following about the electron transport chain EXCEPT:A. Electrons are passed from carriers with lower reduction potential to those with higher reduction potential.B. The first electron carrier is also a proton pump.C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic.D. The electron carriers can transport a maximum of 2 electrons.

Answers

Answer:

C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, it is widely known that the electron carriers move inside the inner mitochondrial membrane and consequently move electrons from one to another. In such a way, they are mobile, therefore they are largely hydrophobic as long as they are inside the membrane.

For instance, the cytochrome c is a water-soluble protein in a large range, therefore, the answer is: C. All electron carriers are mobile and hydrophobic.

Best regards.
