Explain how line spectra are used to identify elements and what they indicate about atoms

Chemistry
1 answer:
Advocard [28]3 years ago
3 0

Electron transitions from higher to lower energy levels cause emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, each with their own specific wavelength. Because the energy levels of elements are quantized, each transition has a specific energy difference. The collection of these transitions makes up the emission spectrum and each spectrum is unique to a specific element, allowing identification.

Describe the benefits and the drawback of natural gas.
Finger [1]

When looking to power your equipment or vehicle with natural gas, the first question that springs to mind is: what is natural gas? A lot of people use natural gas in their homes for cooking and heating, but they don’t really give it some thought. So, let’s see what natural gas is and how it’s different from other forms of fossil fuels like oil and coal.

Natural Gas is a fossil fuel that exist in a gaseous state and is composed mainly of methane (CH4) a small percentage of other hydrocarbons (e.g. ethane). The use of natural gas is becoming more and more popular as it can be used with commercial, industrial, electric power generation and residential applications.
