DERIVE an expression for energy change that occurs when electron moves from orbit n1 to n2 and deduce condition for emission or absorption of energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[E=R_{E} (1/n _{f}^{2} - 1/n_{i}^{2})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ni is the initial energy level and nf is the final energy level of the electron

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Re is rydberg's constant

OpenStudy (aravindg):

how u derived it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's already derived, wikipedia talks all about it

OpenStudy (aravindg):

how u derived it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that equation is the energy of a photon being emitted, a general energy equation is E=-Zke^2/2r which you can use at any orbital, subtract and get the difference of energy between the two orbitals

These are equations that take days to derive in a classroom so I am not going to attempt to do it here.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

k thanx a lot i hav 2 more questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Assume that an electron in H atom has been excited to a level n.Determine the maximum no: of emission. lines that can be observed when electron looses energy

OpenStudy (aravindg):

carrib???

OpenStudy (aravindg):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it's been a while since Ive done these. I think that if an electron is excited to n level then there will be (n-1)! emission lines
