    Questions on Line Spectra, Orbitals and Radiation

    Thanks for the replies So what does it mean to say one orbital has more energy than another? For example, that the 3s orbital has a higher energy than the 2s orbital. The electrons in the 2s orbital are held more tightly to the nucleus than the electrons in the 3s orbital so wouldn't the 2s...

    Questions on Line Spectra, Orbitals and Radiation

    I have several questions that I would appreciate if you guys could help me with, I want to understand these conepts as well as possible. In my chemistry textbook it states that the atoms of each element have a spectral signature, and each atom emits a certain wavelength of radiation, for...

    Is energy conserved in this case?

    I recently had a question presented to me, and I am wondering if I got it right. The question stated that a figure skater with a moment of inertia was rotating at an angular speed of 4 rad/s. Then the figure skater reduced her moment of inertia by bringing her arms in, and her speed increased...
