The red line of the hydrogen emission spectrum has a wavelength of 656.1 nm. calculate the energy of one photon

The formula we can use here is the Plancks equation:

E = h c / ʎ

where h is Plancks constant = 6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s, c is speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s and ʎ is wavelength = 656.1 x 10^-9 m

Therefore E is:

E = (6.626 × 10-34 m2 kg / s) * (3 x 10^8 m/s) / 656.1 x 10^-9 m

E = 3.03 x 10^-19 J

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
