yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom

How Does Hydrogen React With Fire?

It goes boom. scary. Another answer Nothing happens when fire is added to hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas needs another gas in order to do anything. If you have hydrogen gas in the air and add fire, you get a great big boom.


What evidence is there that hydrogen in hydrochloric acid is different from hydrogen in water?

The hydrogen in HCl has a metabolic concentration of solution with hydrogen which reacts with an aqueus solution in its anabolic form. This corresponds to hydrogen in water. The oxidation of the hydrogen in water is still positive 1 and it remains so therefore there is no redox reaction. Another argument can be made with the difference in the law of multiple proportions making the variable compoisiton with a ratio of solvent different. HCl undergoes a electronic blanace reduction causing the nucleus to emit a photon particle.

Why does yeast froth when put in peroxide?

Yeast froths when put in peroxide because the acidic nature of peroxide reacts chemically with the products of yeast, causing hydrogen to be given off and froth to fizz rapidly.


How does a Hydrogen powered car work?

Hydrogen gas reacts with oxygen gas to form water and gives off energy in the process. This energy, mostly in the form of heat, can be used as an energy source. Hydrogen fuel cells are specialized to react the hydrogen and oxygen in an optimal way so that maximum energy can be harnessed. The source of the energy is the hydrogen gas that is synthesized in a lab, usually by the electrolysis of water (which means running electrical energy through water causing it to separate into oxygen and hydrogen gas). The energy used to create the hydrogen gas can come from many sources including fossil fuels, solar, hydroelectric, etc.


Does sodium or chlorine have a higher ionization energy?

The second ionization energy of sodium is so much greater than the first because the first electron is removed from the valence shell, while the second electron is removed from the core orbitals. Additionally, the sodium atom has a positive charge after the first ionization, which thus attracts the remaining electrons more strongly. Both of these factors lead to a much higher second ionization energy compared to the first.

Why is energy absorbed during successive electron affinities?

There is a greater repulsive force from the negatively charged anion, thus causing the addition of successive electrons to be electrically unfavorable. Energy is necessary to overcome the electrostatic repulsion, making additional electron affinities endothermic. For the same reason, the noble gases and nitrogen absorb energy even for their first ionization energy. Greater stability = energy released. It requires energy to disrupt that stability.


What would happen if you hold a burning stick under hydrogen gas?

If anything burning is inserted into, or placed around a mass of Hydrogen gas, it will ignite the Hydrogen, causing it to "explode". The resulting explosion is very hot, and if done with too much Hydrogen gas, can be dangerous. Exercise caution when preforming this.

What happens to potassium when it is added to water?

Solid, pure, potassium metal will react violently with water to form hydrogen gas. Often this hydrogen gas will ignite causing a flame and sometimes an explosion.


How does a machine cause you to expend more energy?

If it is inefficient, causing more input then output, or wasteful, eg: a hydrogen converter with a reuptake adapter reusing purified hydrogen but losing the bulk of the material.


Is there nuclear energy in the northern lights?

not really. the auroras are produced when high energy particles (mostly electrons) are captured by the earth's magnetic field and directed to the pole enter the atmosphere causing ionization of gasses in the atmosphere.


Which describes ionization?

The energy it takes to remove a valence electron from an element.


How does water change from solid ice to liquid?

Melting. During melting, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules are broken thus causing the state to change from the solid to the liquid state where there are LESS (and not no) hydrogen bonds.
