Particles of gas are more scarcely placed as compared to that of liquid.
the intermolecular forces will be less in gaseous state and hence is less stable
Larger gases produces more spectral lines than the smaller gases because they have more orbitals in their atoms.
Hydrogen has only one orbital in which an electron orbits. At the excited state, that is, when the electron gains energy, the number of energy level it can transcend is very few. For larger elements, they have more orbitals and when excited, they can move from the ground state to other energy levels at which they produce various unique spectral lines.
Answer:
chemical energy is stored in the wood before combustion.
