Absorption of energy by an electron results in

it moving from the ground to an excited state

it moving from an excited to the ground state

it moving from an excited to the ground state and the emission of a photon

A fellow student of yours thought that flame color was based on the element written at the beginning of the compound. Which statement would give evidence to support their claim?

The flames of LiCl and NaCl are different colors

The flames of LiCl and and NaCl are the same color

The flames of Na 2 SO 4 and NaCl are different colors

The flames of Na 2 SO 4 and CuCl 2 are different colors

What is significant about ROY G BIV?

It gives the orders of the colors

It helps you figure out the charge on an atom

What evidence did you observe that proves that elements give off their own unique color spectrum?

Each gas tube gave off its own unique color and color spectrum when we looked at the light through the spectroscope. None of them were the exact same.

All of the gas tubes produced a full spectrum. (A rainbow.)

When we looked at white light through a prism, we saw the rainbow.

Each gas tube gave off the same color and color spectrum when we looked at the light through a spectroscope.

Regardless of how hot the flame is, when a metal ion is placed in a flame, it always give off the same color light. Why?

The number of electrons is still the same, so the same number of electrons get excited and fall back to the ground state the same way and give off the same color every time.

The number of protons is still the same, so the same number of electrons get excited and fall back to the ground state the same way and give off the same color every time.

The number of neutrons is still the same, so the same number of electrons get excited and fall back to the ground state the same way and give off the same color every time.

The number of ions is still the same, so the same number of electrons get excited and fall back to the ground state the same way and give off the same color every time.

What evidence indicates that electrons move around the nucleus in definite pathways?

None of the elements emitted a full color spectrum, but rather only certain frequencies of the spectrum were given off. Since some of the spectrum is missing, this means the electrons can only emit frequencies at the fixed energy levels and not in between.

None of the elements emitted a full color spectrum, but rather only certain frequencies of the spectrum were given off. Since some of the spectrum is missing, this means the electrons can emit frequencies of light in between the energy levels.

All of the elements emitted a full color spectrum. (The Rainbow.)

How can scientists use the color spectrum of individual elements to help determine the composition of stars in our galaxy?

Since each element has its own unique line spectra, it is possible to use a spectrometer to examine the light being emitted by the stars to determine what elements are present?

Since each element does not have its own unique color spectrum, it is impossible to determine what elements make up our starts.

Since the stars are so far away, the light we would be studying can not be trusted to determine their composition.
