Answer:

<h2>d) Light emitted by an element produces a unique identifying spectrum.</h2>

Explanation:

Every atom in the existence is formed by protons, neutrons and electrons. These electrons surround the nucleus in specific arrangements called orbitals, you can imagine it like a planetary system. The fact is that each orbital has an specific amount of energy, and electrons cannot go up or down these orbitals if the energy isn't change.

In addition, when an atom absorbs energy, the electrons inside can jump to a higher orbital temporarily and then go back to its natural position. However, it happens the opposite effect if an atom ejects energy, the electrons jump to a lower orbital, expelling energy in form of electromagnetic waves, and depending on the length of those waves, a color is seen. This electron's jumps happen all the time, and each material have a specific behaviour, which gives specific electromagnetic waves, specific colors, and the formation of those colors is what is called a spectrum, that's why is unique.

Therefore, the correct answer is d.

Answer:

correct answer is option d (Light emitted by an element produces a unique identifying spectrum.)

Explanation:

Each element has different atomic number and atoms of an element can radiate a certain amount of energy. Different elements have different atomic spectrum and it can be used to determine the composition of a material.

When atoms are excited to higher energy state after some time they came back to lower state by emitting their excess energy in the form of light. This light has certain wavelength. This emitted light can be seen as a series of different colored lines and between two colored lines there is a dark space. This series of colored lines is called a line spectra or atomic spectra.

The relationship between mass and inertia is described by newton's second law of motion. true or false
Mariana [72]
False. Inertia and mass is not described in Newton’s second law of motion but in Newton’s first law of motion. Newton’s first law of motion or sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. In Newton’s first law indicates that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In the Copper Plating Solution lab, you placed copper (Cu) pennies in vinegar. Vinegar is a weak acid with hydrogen ions (H+). W
PolarNik [594]
Bubbles came off from the copper pennies are hydrogen gas. There many free hydrogen ions in an acid like vinegar. And because of the chemical reaction between the copper and the vinegar, many hydrogen ions joined together to form hydrogen gas.
