Consider an atom that has an electron in an excited state. The electron falls to a lower energy level. What effect does that have on the electron?

It was ernest rutherford

Sorry i dont understand the question can you rephase it?

Ch4 and ph3 are both covalent since they are composed both of non-metals.    ch4 is non- polar because of  london forces and has a geometry of tetrahedral  ph3 , on the other hand, is umbrella shaped polar and has dipole-dipole intermolecular force (imf) . since ph3 is polar, it has a stronger imf   

(no3)⁻n has oxidation number x,o has oxidation number -2.(x*1 -2*3) charge of the nitrate ion, and we know that charge of the nitrate ion =-1.so,(x*1 -2*3) =-1x-6=-1x=+5answer a. +5.
