Here is an energy level diagram that shows what happens when a photon is absorbed. Compare and contrast the energy level diagram with your representation. Make sure to discuss how atomic structure is changing as a photon is absorbed. Energy E5 (n = 5) E4 (n = 4) E3 (n = 3) E2 (n = 2) E1 (n = 1) Energy 4s 4p 4d 4f 3s 3p 3d 2s 2p 1s Discuss here...

Consider the following energy level diagram for hydrogen: n = 7 E7 = -4.445 x 10^-20 J n = 6 E6 = -6.050 x 10^-20 J n = 5 E5 = -8.712 x 10^-20 J n = 4 E4 = -1.361 x 10^-19 J n = 3 E3 = -2.420 x 10^-19 J What is the wavelength (in nm) of a photon emitted during the transition of an electron from n = 7 to n = 3?

The energy level diagram below is for a large sample of atoms that are all identical. These atoms all contain one electron that is initially in the ground state. The sample is radiated with photons that all have 10 -electron volts of energy. Shortly after the absorption, the atoms begin to emit photons spontaneously. What are all the possible energies of the emitted photons? (A) 4 $\mathrm{eV}$ only (B) 6 $\mathrm{eV}$ only (C) $4 \mathrm{eV}, 6 \mathrm{eV}$ only (D) $4 \mathrm{eV}, 6 \mathrm{eV},$ and 10 eV only (E) $4 \mathrm{eV}, 6 \mathrm{eV}, 10 \mathrm{eV},$ and 12 $\mathrm{eV}$
