Document Summary
* look at l ml = l. *the larger the orbitals the further away the electron can be from the nucleus: c) 4d , e) 5 . #nodes = n-1 d e = 2. Sunlight allows for photosynthesis and life on earth, but the sun also emits high energy electromagnetic radiation that would destroy most of life as we know it. Thankfully, we have a thin shell of atmosphere that protects us, it"s as thin as an iron skin. With every breath you inhale millions upon million of molecules. Molecules of gas react with sunlight in specific areas of the atmosphere. There"s low gas and pressure as you go up the altitude. In a given segment, the temperature changes. The thermosphere is the first region where solar electromagnetic energy reaches. X-ray are very energetic and it comes from the sun, excite electrons in molecules and absorb x-ray radiation here. and oxygen ( (g)) (g))
