Get Hertz with this formula. Z = 3 for Li.
Hertz = (3.29 X 1015 s -1)*Z2*(1/Nf2 - 1/Ni2)
We will reverse initial and final to avoid negatives.
Hertz = (3.29 X 1015 s -1)(32)(1/12 - 1/42)
Hertz = (9.87 X 1015)(15/16)
= 9.25 X 1015 Hertz
------------------------------Now, this formula.
Wavelength = speed of light/Hertz
Wavelength = 2.998 X 108 m/s/9.25 X 1015 Hertz
= 3.24 X 10 -8 meters (109/1 meter)
= 32.4 nanometers

Does all atoms emit the same wavelengths of light?
Not really. We could argue that atoms, at one time or another, absorb a little bit of light of any wavelength, but the most likely scenario is that the atom absorbs light that is of the same amount of energy as the place the atom would use it- in the promotion of an electron. However much energy is required to promote an electron up another level corresponds to the wavelength of light absorbed. Einstein won his Nobel Prize answering a question similar to this where atoms absorb light of a particular wavelength, then release an electron afterward to make electricity. This is known as the "Photoelectric Effect" and we all benefit from it when we use solar cells. Another way to think of the way light is selectively absorbed is to imagine a radio. A radio antenna is exposed to a bunch of signals, but only the station we tune to ends up coming from the speakers. By having electrons arranged in a particular way, an atom acts like a radio receiver- it only receives the signal it is tuned to. Hope that helps and best of luck in your studies! Bill
Why is the light given off as fluorescence always of lower wavelength than the light absorbed?
It isn't. The usual way fluorescence works is indeed that a high energy light promotes an electron to a high energy state and it then cascades down through the energy levels giving off low energy quanta of light at each step. However there is the situation where low energy light input can act as an energy pump and promote an electron in a series of energy steps to a high energy state which it then releases in a single high energy drop emitting a quantum of light of a higher energy than the input.
Why is the element xenon unreactive?
Xenon is unreactive because it has a full outer electron shell, making it very stable and reluctant to gain, lose, or share electrons with other elements. This stable electron configuration makes it difficult for xenon to form chemical bonds with other elements, resulting in its inertness.
Why electron affinity is negative?
It is NOT negative (for the first IE). Because Be's configuration is 1s2 2s2, we observe that it has no vacant orbital to accommodate an electron, meaning that to insert an electron, it has to go into a new sub-orbital, the higher-energy 2p. Hence, you need energy to promote this electron to a 2p level to force Be to accept it.

Why doesn't green light promote photosynthesis?
Green light does not promote photosynthesis because it is reflected off of a plants leaves. While most plants absorb all other wavelengths of electromagnetic rays from the sun, they reflect the wavelength for green light.
Why nitro group is formed on ortho and para position?
The nitro group is formed on the ortho and para positions due to the presence of resonance stabilization. This resonance allows the negative charge to be delocalized in the aromatic ring, making these positions more favorable for the electrophilic substitution by the nitro group. Additionally, steric hindrance and the stability of the resulting intermediate also play a role in directing the nitro group to these positions.

What do living organisms in soil do?
Living organisms in the soil may include things like fungi, bacteria, and worms. They generally help in breaking down of elements or nutrients that are then absorbed into plants. They also keep the soil aerated and thus promote healthy plant life.
