How is it possible for helium to have 8 spectral lines when it only has 2 electrons?

Chemistry

It has more lines in it compared to hydrogen emission spectrum. It is mainly because the helium atom has more electrons than a hydrogen atom. Therefore, more electrons get excited when we pass a white light beam through a helium sample, and it causes the emission of more spectral lines

A hydrocarbon of pentane has two isomeric forms—n-pentane and iso-pentane. The molecular formula of the n-pentane is C5H12. Pred
Monica [59]
An iso pentane is an isomeric form of n-pentane. Isomers have same molecular formula but differ in the atomic arragement projected in 3D and the arrangement of atoms primarily resulting to a different set of properties. In this case, isopentane also has a molecular formula of an alkane <span>C5H12</span>
