- Investigating Energy Levels Consider the hypothetical atom X that has one electron like the H atom but has different energy levels. The energies of an electron in an X atom are described by the equation E=RHn3 where RH is the same as for hydrogen (2.179 1018 J). Answer the following questions, without calculating energy values. a How would the ground-state energy levels of X and H compare? b Would the energy of an electron in the n = 2 level of H be higher or lower than that of an electron in the n = 2 level of X? Explain your answer. c How do the spacings of the energy levels of X and H compare? d Which would involve the emission of a higher frequency of light, the transition of an electron in an H atom from the n = 5 to the n = 3 level or a similar transition in an X atom? e Which atom, X or H, would require more energy to completely remove its electron? f A photon corresponding to a particular frequency of blue light produces a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 5 level of a hydrogen atom. Could this photon produce the same transition (n = 12 to n = 5) in an atom of X? Explain.arrow_forwardThe energy emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy state to a lower energy state in any atom can be observed as electromagnetic radiation. (a) Which involves the emission of less energy in the H atom, an electron moving from n = 4 to n = 2 or an electron moving from n = 3 to n = 2? (b) Which involves the emission of more energy in the H atom, an electron moving from n = 4 to n = 1 or an electron moving from n = 5 to n = 2? Explain fully.arrow_forwardAs the weapons officer aboard the Srarship Chemistry, it is your duty to configure a photon torpedo to remove an electron from the outer hull of an enemy vessel. You know that the work function (the binding energy of the electron) of the hull of the enemy ship is 7.52 1019 J. a. What wavelength does your photon torpedo need to be to eject an electron? b. You find an extra photon torpedo with a wavelength of 259 nm and fire it at the enemy vessel. Does this photon torpedo do any damage to the ship (does it eject an electron)? c. If the hull of the enemy vessel is made of the element with an electron configura tion of [Ar]4s13d10, what metal is this?arrow_forward
- Warm objects emit electromagnetic radiation in the infrared region. Heat lamps employ this principle to generate infrared radiation. Water absorbs infrared radiation with wavelengths near 2.80 m. Suppose this radiation is absorbed by the water and converted to heat. A 1.00-L sample of water absorbs infrared radiation, and its temperature increases from 20.0C to 30.0C. How many photons of this radiation are used to heat the water?arrow_forward6.93 A mercury atom is initially in its lowest possible (or ground state) energy level. The atom absorbs a photon with a wavelength of 185 nm and then emits a photon with a frequency of 4.9241014HZ . At the end of this series of transitions, the atom will still be in an energy level above the ground state. Draw an energy-level diagram for this process and find the energy of this resulting excited state, assuming that we assign a value of E = 0 to the ground state. (This choice of E = 0 is not the usual convention, but it will simplify the calculations you need to do here.)arrow_forwardA hydrogen atom in the ground stale absorbs a photon whose wavelength is 95.0 nm. The resulting excited atom then emits a photon of 1282 nm. What are the regions of the electromagnetic spectrum for the radiations involved in these transitions? What is the principal quantum number of the final state resulting from the emission from the excited atom?arrow_forward
