Question 6.        

Electron X is going from energy level 5 to energy level 2; Electron Y is moving from energy level 2 to energy level 3; Electron Z is moving from energy level 3 to energy level 1.

Which electron(s) is/are excited? ____

Which electron(s) is/are producing the atomic spectrum which has a black background with colored lines? ______

Which e electron will produce light with the highest frequency? _______

Which electron will require energy to make the transition? ___

Which electron will produce light with the highest wavelength? ___

Which electron is making the transition which involves the most energy? ___

Which electron will be closest to the nucleus once it reaches its destination? ___

Explanation / Answer

Electron Y is being excited because it is raised to a higher energy level.

Electrons A and Z will produce the emission spectrum which has a black background with colored lines, because these electrons are emitting energy due to de-excitation.

Electron X will produce the light with highest frequency, because it has the biggest transition.

Electron Y will require energy to make the transition.

Electron Z will produce light with highest wavelength.

Electron X is making the transition which involves most energy.

Electron Z will be closest to nucleus once it reaches destination, because its destination is level number 1.
