Can an electron jump from sixth shell to second shell?

yes. in the case of hydrogen atom jumping of an electron from 6th level to 2nd level cause balmer series


What technology did Bohr use to discover the electron?

The only technology Bohr needed to develop his model for the atom was a spectrometer, which, in the mid-1800s, revealed the emission lines of hydrogen. In 1885, Johann Balmer developed a mathematical formula (the Balmer Series) that fully described these lines, but nobody could explain why it worked. Neils Bohr combined the quantum ideas of Max Planck and Albert Einstein with the atomic model proposed by Ernest Rutherford, and developed an atomic model from which the Balmer Series could be derived.


What are the absorption lines in the infrared portion of the spectrum of a star that are produced by hyrdrogen are from?

The absorption lines in the infrared portion of the spectrum of a star that are produced by hydrogen are from the Balmer series. The Balmer series were discovered by Johann Balmer in 1885.


What does a hydrogen atom transitioning from the 2nd to the 1st excited state produce?

A hydrogen atom transitioning from the 2nd to the 1st excited state produces a photon of ultraviolet light. This ultraviolet light has a specific wavelength corresponding to the energy difference between the two states.


The Bohr model of the atom was able to explain the Balmer series because?

differences between the energy levels of the orbits matched the difference between energy levels of the line spectra.

What color is the wavelength of light in the Balmer series that results from the transition of an electron to N equals 2?

There are 4 Balmer lines with wavelengths in the visible region. They are red, aqua and two shades of violet. Other Balmer lines are in the ultraviolet. The red line corresponds to the transition from n = 3 to n = 2, the subsequent ones are from the 4, 5 and 6 levels to n = 2.


What is the wavelength of the hydrogen atom in the 2nd line of the Balmer series?

With reference to the wikipedia article on this topic: The Balmer series predicts visible light wavelengths with high accuracy. The limiting transition wavelength predicted by the formula, inf -> 2, would be 364.6 nm.

What is the Balmer Series?

The Balmer series is a section of the hydrogen atomic emission line spectrum. They show the wavelengths of light emitted when electrons transition back to the n = 2 quantum level.
