NEET Chemistry (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
Refer to the diagram showing the absorption spectrum with transitions between orbits n_i and n_f. If n_f represents the final orbit and n_i the initial orbit, which transition would result in the absorption of energy?
A
n_f > n_i
B
n_f < n_i
C
n_f = n_i
D
n_f = 0
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In the context of absorption spectrum, n_f > n_i indicates that energy is absorbed since the final orbit is higher than the initial orbit.
