What does an emission spectrum show?

Chemistry
1 answer:
IrinaVladis [17]2 years ago
3 0

It shows the type of atoms/elements in a substance

Different types of atoms have different emission spectrum - a concept supported by Bohr quantum theory - hence one is able to identify elements in a substance using a method called spectroscopy.

Explanation:

When an electron jumps from a low energy orbital to a higher energy orbital in an atom, it absorbs a specific wavelength of electromagnetic radiation (This is called absorption spectrum). Vice versa, if the same electron jumps from a higher to a lower energy orbital it releases the equivalent quantum energy in electromagnetic wave (This is called emission spectrum). Different types of atoms of different elements have a unique spectrum identifier.

What is radioactive decay?
swat32

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.
