The Balmer series in the hydrogen spectrum corresponds to the transition from n1=2 to n2=3, 4, ..... This series lies in the visible region. Calculate the wave number of line associated with the transition in Balmer series when the electron moves to n=4 orbit.

(RH=109677 cm-1)


Configurations either exactly half-filled or fully filled orbitals are more stable due to symmetrical distribution of electrons and maximum exchange energy. In 3d104s1, d-orbitals are completely filled and s-orbital is half-filled. Hence, it is more stable configuration.
