Interpretation:
The wavelength of the next line in the given series of lines of spectrum of atomic hydrogen has to be identified.
(a)

Explanation of Solution
All the lines in the hydrogen spectrum suits the Rydberg formula.
1λ = RH(1n21 - 1n22)Where λ is the wavelength of the emitted photonR is Rydberg’s constantZ is the atomic number (1 for H, 2 for He)n1 and n2 are the principal quantum numbers for the initial and final states
Find n1 from the value of λmax, which arises from the transition of n1+ 1 → n1.
1λmaxRH = 1n21 - (1n1 + 1)2 = 2n1 + 1n21 (n1 + 1)2λmaxRH = n21 (n1 + 1)22n1 + 1 = (656.46 × 10-9m) × (109677× 102m-1 )= 7.20hence n1 = 2, as determined by trial and error substitution. Therefore,the transitions are given as,υ = 1λ = (109677 cm-1) × (14 - 1n22) n2 = 3,4,5,6Next line has n2 = 7υ = 1λ = (109677 cm-1) × (14 - 149) = 397.13nm
The energy needed to ionize the atom is obtained by allowing n2 → ∞
υ = 1λ∞ = (109677 cm-1) × (14 - 0) = 27419cm-1υ = 3.40ev
(b)
Interpretation:
The ionization energy of hydrogen atom when it is in lower state of transition has to be identified.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
The energy needed to ionize the atom is obtained by allowing n2 → ∞
υ = 1λ∞ = (109677 cm-1) × (14 - 0) = 27419cm-11cm-1 = 1.2398 ×10-4evυ = 3.40ev

- Predicting As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C - C bond as its major product: H₂N O H 1. ? 2. H3O+ If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. 0 If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. فا Explanation Check Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forwardHighlight the chirality (or stereogenic) center(s) in the given compound.
