Lyman series n-5 (a) (b) e These pictures refer to the energy levels of a hydrogen atom. You can find the error in both parts, (a) and (b). The arrows labeled "emission" in (a), and all the arrows in (b), indicate a transition in which an electron jumps from a higher- energy state to a lower-energy state. The different "series" of emission lines are characterized by the index n of the low- energy state in which the electron ends up. In particular, the Lyman series consists of all transitions that end up in the n=1 energy level, with an initial energy level that corresponds to the label n = 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. One of these values of n is not shown as an arrow in the Lyman emission series in figures (a) or (b). This is a significant error because that particular spectral line is very important in astronomy. Pick the value…arrow_forwardThe Lyman series comprises a set of spectral lines. All of these lines involve a hydrogen atom whose electron undergoes a change in energy level, either beginning at the n = 1 level (in the case of an absorption line) or ending there (an emission line).

- Recall that for practical purposes the number of orbits in the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom is limited to 7, however the model can in theory be extend to n = ∞. This idea of orbits beyond 7 is employed in the following question. Also it may be useful to know that 1 ∞2 = 0. The ionization energy associated with an atom equals the amount of energy required to strip a given electron away from its nucleus in the gaseous phase. For purposes of this question/calculation, if we consider the electron of a hydrogen atom in orbit n = 12 to be sufficiently removed from the nucleus, so as to be free of its electrostatic hold (i.e. to be stripped of its nucleus), what is the ionization energy for hydrogen in kJ/mol?
