The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: =E−Ryn2 In this equation Ry stands for the Rydberg energy, and n stands for the principal quantum number of the orbital that holds the electron. (You can find the value of the Rydberg energy using the Data button on the ALEKS toolbar.) Calculate the wavelength of the line in the emission line spectrum of hydrogen caused by the transition of the electron from an orbital with =n10 to an orbital with =n8. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.

162 * 10^-7 m

Explanation:

The Rydberg formula is;

1/λ= R(1/n2^2 - 1/n1^2)

R = Rydberg constant = 1.097 * 10^7 m-1

n2 = final state of the electron = 8

n1 = initial state of the electron = 10

Substituting values;

1/λ= 1.097 * 10^7(1/8^2 - 1/10^2)

1/λ= 1.097 * 10^7(1/64 - 1/100)

  1 / λ = 1.097 10⁷ (0.015625 - 0.01)

1 /λ = 0.006170625 10⁷

λ = (0.006170625 10⁷)^-1

λ = 162 * 10^-7 m

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
