**Understanding Emission of Visible Light from Metal Ions in a Bunsen Burner Flame**When a metal ion is placed into a Bunsen burner flame, you may observe the following phenomena regarding the emission of visible light. Here are some statements to consider:1. **All the cations you test in the flame will produce an emission in the visible range.** - This statement suggests that when different metal cations are exposed to the flame, they emit light that can be seen with the naked eye.2. **The heat energy from the burner excites the outermost electron to a higher orbital where it is unstable.** - Here, the heat from the Bunsen burner is responsible for energizing electrons, causing them to jump to higher energy levels or orbitals. These excited states are unstable.3. **A sodium ion will produce a bright yellow flame.** - This indicates that sodium ions are known to emit a characteristic bright yellow color when heated in a flame, which is commonly used to identify the presence of sodium.4. **The color observed corresponds to the energy difference between electron orbitals.** - The observed flame color is a result of the energy emitted when excited electrons fall back to their original or lower energy states. The specific color corresponds to the specific energy difference between these states.The described process is fundamental in understanding how flame tests can be used to identify various metals based on their emission spectra.

Each of the statements below attempts to explain why some periodic property varies predictably among elements in the periodic table. Determine if each statement is true or false. Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have atoms of smaller radius because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have lower ionization energy because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a period, elements with higher atomic numbers have higher ionization energy because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a family, elements with higher atomic numbers have higher electronegativity because the atoms have higher effective nuclear charge. Within a period, elements with lower atomic numbers require more energy to remove an electron from the atom, because the valance electrons are in higher principal energy levels. Within a period, elements with lower atomic…

use the photon energies (Li E = 178.428 KJ/mol) to determine the valence orbital energies for both Li and Na. For lithium, the transition is from the 2p- to the 2s-orbital, and the 2s-orbital energy is –520.3 kJ/mol. Use this to find the energy of the 2p-orbitals in Li. For sodium, the higher-energy photon is emitted when the electron drops from one of the 3p-orbitals to the 3s-orbital, while the lower energy photon is emitted when the electron drops from one of the 3d-orbitals to one of the 3p-orbitals. Use these facts, along with the known energy of the 3s-orbital (–495.8 kJ/mol), to find the energies of the 3p- and 3d-orbitals.

When more than one electron exists in an atom, the energy levels (n) split into sub-levels (s, p, d, f orbitals have different energies—even at the same n level). How electrons exist in these orbitals changes the properties of atoms. Electron configurations are either written in electron configuration notation or as an orbital diagram (boxes corresponding to orbitals of increasing energy). Write the ground state electron configuration and corresponding orbital diagram for each ion or neutral atom below. Do not use noble gas abbreviations for period 1, 2 or 3 elements.
In Universe L, recently discovered by an intrepid team of chemists who also happen to have studied interdimensional travel, quantum mechanics works just as it does in our universe, except that there are four d orbitals instead of the usual number we observe here. Use these facts to write the ground-state electron configurations of the seventh and eighth elements in the first transition series in Universe L. Note: you may use [X] to stand for the electron configuration of the noble gas at the end of the row before the first transition series. seventh transition metal: eighth transition metal:
