When an atom makes a transition from a higher energy level to a lower one, a photon is released. What is the wavelength of the photon that is emitted from the atom during the transition?

Wavelength of the photon depends on transition from different states.

Explanation:

The wavelength of the photon that is emitted from the atom during the transition depends on the transition from different states. If the photon is emitted from n=4 state to n=3 state, the wavelength of photon is 1875 while on the other hand, if the photon is emitted from n=5 state to n=3 state, the wavelength of photon is 1282. If the photon is emitted from n=3 state to n=2 state, the wavelength of photon is 656.

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.
