Chemistry Question on Structure of atom
Maximum frequency of emission is obtained for the transition:
A
n=2 to n=1
B
n=6 to n=2
C
n=1 to n=2
D
n=2 to n=6
Answer
n=2 to n=1
Explanation
Solution
The maximum frequency of emission is obtained for the transition n=2 to n=1 in an atomic or molecular system. This transition corresponds to an electron moving from a higher energy level (n=2) to a lower energy level (n=1), and the energy released is in the form of a photon with the maximum frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
