What is the maximum number of emission l | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Structure of Atom, Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions

Question:

What is the maximum number of emission lines when the excited electron of an H atom in n = 6 drops to the ground state?

Answer:

Number of lines produced when electron from nth shell drops to ground state = n(n-1)/2

Now according to question lines produced when electron drops from 6th shell to ground state

= 6(6-1) / 2 = 15

These are produced due to following transition

6 to 5      5 to 4    4 to 3     3to 2     2 to 1 (5 lines)

6 to 4     5 to 3    4 to 2     3 to 1             (4 lines)  

6 to 3     5 to 2    4 to 1                          (3 lines)

6 to 2     5 to 1                                      (2 lines)

6 to 1                                                    (1 lines)

in a sample one H atom is in first exited state two he+ ion in second excited state and three li2+ions are in third excited state. then,find the maximum number of spectral lines which can be obtained,when all possible transitions terminate at n=1
