What does an emission spectrum show?

Chemistry
1 answer:
IrinaVladis [17]3 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.

Explain how you would separate a mixture of water, sand, salt and iron filings into its four component parts.
katen-ka-za [31]

You would use the density difference to separate the sand, evaporate the water out (the water vapor will cool back to water if collected). Then use a magnet to get the iron fillings out of the salt.

1. If 80.0 ml of 3.00 M HCl is used to make a 100. ml of dilute acid, what is the molarity
Aleonysh [2.5K]

<u>We are given:</u>

M1 = 3 Molar        V1 = 80 mL

M2 = x Molar        V2 = 100 mL

<u>Finding the molarity:</u>

We know that:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

where V can be in any units

(3)(80) = (x)(100)

x = 240/100                                          [dividing both sides by 100]

x = 2.4 Molar

If a compound contains a poly atomic ion then what type of compound is it A. Convalent Compound B. Ionic Compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

How many elements had been discovered by 1860
UkoKoshka [18]

60 elements! I don't exactly know every element known, so if you are asking that, please tell us, but what I do know is that there were 60 elements in the periodic table by 1860.
