How are atomic emission spectra used to identify elements? A) As the atom emits photons at precise frequencies it creates a simi

lar atomic emission spectra to other atoms within its group. B) Atoms absorb photons and emit energy at definitive frequencies creating a universal atomic emission spectra common to all atoms. C) When the atom absorbs photons, energy can only be emitted at specific frequencies creating a characteristic atomic emission spectra. D) The atom absorbs photons and emits a continuous spectrum of energy but only certain frequencies can be detected creating the spectra.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C) When the atom absorbs photons, energy can only be emitted at specific frequencies creating a characteristic atomic emission spectra.

Explanation:

Emission spectrometry is a spectroscopic technique that analyzes the wavelengths of photons emitted by atoms or molecules during their transition from an excited state to a lower energy state. Each element emits a characteristic set of discrete wavelengths based on its electronic structure.

That is, each atom is capable of emitting or absorbing electromagnetic radiation, although only at some frequencies that are characteristic of each of the different chemical elements. If a certain element is stimulated in its gas phase, its atoms emit radiation at certain frequencies of the visible, which constitute its emission spectrum.

Expressed in other words, when a substance radiates with electromagnetic radiation the electrons choose the radiation of this continuous spectrum to produce jumps at higher levels (excited state).

When an electron jumps from its fundamental state to higher energy levels (excited state) and falls back to lower energy levels, the emission of a photon of a defined wavelength occurs that appears as a specific line or line in the spectrum broadcast. Electromagnetic radiation from radiation after passing through the substance is missing a series of lines that correspond to electronic jumps from the fundamental state to the excited state. It is what is called an absorption spectrum.

In summary, because each atom is capable of emitting or absorbing electromagnetic radiation, although only at some frequencies that are characteristic of each of the different chemical elements, <u><em>the correct answer is option C) When the atom absorbs photons, energy can only be emitted at specific frequencies creating a characteristic atomic emission spectra.</em></u>

Questions:<br> 1. Why are atomic masses on the periodic table decimal numbers?
fomenos

Answer:

The atomic mass on the periodic table is a decimal number because it is an average of the different isotopes of an element.

P.S.

An isotope is each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.

sladkih [1.3K]
 <span>Use the sequence E (NaCl, Na2SO4, then Na2S). Silver is insoluble as a chloride, so it would be removed first, the others (Pb and Ni) are soluble as chlorides(Note; lead chloride is soluble as a hot solution but will ppt when cold), next, PbSO4 is insoluble but NiSO4 is soluble so use Na2SO4 to separate lead from nickel. Lastly, nickel sulfide is insoluble and can be separated and collected.

Hope I helped :)</span>

If you have 10,000 grams of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 56 days?
Crank

Answer: 625 grams

Explanation:

14 goes into 56, 4 times.

10,000÷2=5,000 - first half life

5,000÷2=2,500 - second half life

2,500÷2=1,250 - 3rd half life

1,250÷2= 625 - 4th half life

Note: don't type "grams" after 625, just type "625".

What is the answer to this question?
lord [1]
The answer is D.

The atomic number stands for the number of protons in each element. The number of protons is what is unique to each element. The number of neutrons varies; this is what isotopes are. The number of protons being the atomic number explains why the atomic number is an identifying characteristic of each element.
