(c) The diagram below shows some of the energy levels of the mercury atom. 0 lonisation level -1.6 -3.7 Energy / eV -5.5 -10.4 i. Calculate the ionisation energy, in J, for an electron in the -10.4 eV level. ii. An electron has been excited to the -3.7 eV level. Copy the diagram and show all the possible ways it can return to the - 10.4 eV level. iii. Which change in energy levels will give rise to a yellowish line (λ = 600 nm) in the mercury spectrum?
