Describe the cause of atomic emission spectrum of an element

Chemistry
1 answer:
AnnZ [28]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The de-exitation of electron to its lower energy level cause the emission spectrum of an element.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. This energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. These radiations gives the emission spectrum of that element. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum .

Carry out some research into how new elements get their name and their symbols. Write out a short passage (no more than 50 words
spin [16.1K]
The IUPAC says that elements have to be named after one of five things: a scientist, a place, a mineral or substance, a descriptor of the element, or a mythological reference. Of the new elements, three are named after places and one is named after a person No-one has yet named an element after themselves but many elements are named in tribute to important scientists

What type of compound does the formula, CuCl2, represent?<br> a. ionic salt<br> b. covalent molecule
Rainbow [258]
The answer is:  [B]:  "ionic salt" .
___________________________________________________
Note:  There is no "sharing of electrons" among the elements in this compound; so this compound in NOT a "covalent molecule".

However, there is ionic bonding:  Cu²⁺ and  Cl⁻  ;  to form:  "CuCl₂" .
