What property of water allows ice to float in water?
Due to hydrogen bonds, the density of water decreases as it freezes (decrease starts at 4oC). To see a full explanation of why ice floats in water, see the related question below.
Why cant light of 500 nm be given off from hydrogen?
Hydrogen, like all elements, have a characteristic distance between energy levels. The atom can only accept photons of energy that match that distance and then that light is emitted. 500 nm does not match the wavelength of light that matches the wavelength corresponding to the energy gap in hydrogen.
What is the wavelength of a photon that will induce a transition from the ground state to the n equals 4 state in hydrogen?
That is the "gamma" line of the Lyman series: 94.97 nanometers.
Which color of light - in the visible hydrogen spectrum - has photons of the shortest wavelength?
The visible color violet has the shortest wavelength. Just remember Roy G. Biv where the "R" means red, "o" means orange, "y" means yellow, "G" means green, "B" means blue, "i" means indigo, and "v" means violet. :)
Why did Bohr use hydrogen to study the energy emitted from atoms?
Since hydrogen only has one electron that constantly absorbs and emits energy while transitioning back and forth through its energy levels, Bohr realized that each of hydrogens orbits was quantized only allowing an electron of specific energy, frequency & wavelength, to occupy it. So he deduced that hydrogen only has a specific line spectum, thus it has specified "orbits" rather than "orbitals" of probability distribution of electrons.
Why solubility of hydrocarbons decreases as no of carbon atoms increases?
the solubility of the hydrocarbons decrease because as the number of carbons increase the electron density of the electronegative element i.e.oxygen increase and the polarity of o-H bond decrease . Thus the capability of hydrocarbon to form hydrogen bond decrease and its solubility decrease
What happens to the hydrogen ion concentration as you decrease the pH?
Hydrogen ion concentration increases.
Which substances decrease the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution?
Adding a base the hydrogen concentration decrease.
Does removing hydrogen increase or decrease acidity?
Removing the hydrogen ion H+ the acidity decrease.
What is the wavelength of the hydrogen?
21 centimeter line
Why does blood hydrogen ion concentration decrease as the body's metabolic rate decreases?
As the body's metabolic rate decreases, the amount of CO2 that is released into the blood stream decreases as well. The reduced amount of free CO2 means that there is less interaction with H20 which in turn reduces the amount of carbonic acid in the blood stream. With less carbonic acid, there is less neutralization, then there is less free hydrogen ions in the blood stream.
Why the acidic character increases with the decrease in pH?
The acidic character increases with decrease in pH because the pH and acidity are both dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration, with pH being the negative log of the hydrogen concentration. So, at the concentration of H+ increases, the negative log of the H+ concentration decreases.
Why does the amount of hydrogen in a star decrease?
Because Hydrogen is the fuel of Stars, hydrogen consumed and Helium is formed.
Will the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increases or decrease over the next few million years?
The amount of hydrogen will decrease and the amount of helium will increase.
Will the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increase or decrease over the next few million years?
The amount of hydrogen will decrease and the amount of helium will increase.
Will amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increase or decrease over the next few million years?

What is the second longest wavelength in the absorption spectrum of hydrogen?
97.26 nm
