To understand what a negative value of \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) indicates, we can break it down into a few key concepts in electrochemistry. ### Step 1: Understanding Standard Cell Potential The standard cell potential, \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \), is a measure of the driving force behind a redox reaction in an electrochemical cell. It indicates whether the reaction can occur spontaneously under standard conditions. ### Step 2: Relationship Between \( E^\circ_{\text{cell}} \) and Gibbs Free Energy The relationship between the standard cell potential and Gibbs free energy (\( \Delta G \)) is given by the equation: \[ ...

  • What does the negative electronic energy (negative sign for all values of energy) for hydrogen atom means?

    A
    The energy of an electron in the atom is lower than the energy of a free electron at rest which is taken as zero.
    B
    When the electron is free from the influence of nucleus it has a negative value which becomes more negative.
    C
    When the electron is atteracted by the nucleus the energy is obsorbed which means a negative value.
    D
    Energy is released by hydrogen atom in ground state.
