8.5.1 The analysis of the way matter emits and absorbs radiation is called (a)   .

• astronomy
• chemistry
• atomic theory
• spectroscopy

Answer explanation

This question links to success criteria 8.5.1: I can use the unique atomic emission and absorption spectra to identify different elements.

If you got it correct place a check mark in the question results section. If you got it incorrect place an X in that section. If this was a redemption question, cross out the one X and replace it with a check mark

8.5.2

Predict: Which of the following provides the best explanation for why some stars have heavier materials than others?

• Older stars have been fusing elements longer and have run low on hydrogen so have been fusing heavier elements

• Older stars have been working longer and have earned enough money to have nice things

• Younger stars have more potential energy stored so they can have heavier materials

• Younger stars are stronger so they can carry heavier materials

Answer explanation

This question links to success criteria: I can determine which elements are found in an object by examining the combined emission spectrum.
