Figure shown five energy levels of an atom , one being much lower than the other four. Five transitios between the levels are idicated, each of which produces a photon of definite energy and frequency.
Which one of the spectrum below best corresponding to the set of transition indicated?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The first three transition from the left fall in the Lyman series of the hydrogen spectrum which corresponds to ultraviolet radiation.
The fourth transion fall in the Balmer series of the spectrum which corresponds to the visible light emission .
Thus, frequencies of the last two transition are closed to each other on the extreme left of the frequencies spectrum whereas the frequencies of the first three transition are closer to one another and fall on the right corner of the frequencies spectrum. The spectrum of the transition is thus best represented in diagram

Oxygen differs from the other elements of the group. Compounds of oxygen with metals are more ionic in nature and hydrogen bonding is more important for oxygen compounds. Oxygen is never more than divalent beacasue when it hs formed two covalent bonds, there are no low energy orbitals which can be used for form. further bonds. However, the elements S,Se,Te and Po have empty d- orbitals which may be used for bonding, and they can form four or six bonds by unpairing electrons. The higher oxidation states become less stable on decending the group. The bond between S and O, or Se and O, are much shorter than might be expected for a single bond owing to rho pi - dpi interaction between the p- orbital of oxygen and d- orbital of S or Se.
