The emission spectrum of a chemical element is the spectrum of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation due to an atom or molecule making a transition from a high energy state to a low energy state. There are a lot of electron transitions for each atom. All transitions have a energy difference.
After doing the atomic line emission lab my results came out in many different ways. During the lab, we went to five different stations. Throughout the stations, the light that we used to figure out the quantization changed. In the first station that I went to there were many gaps in the spectrum. I saw red, orange-yellow, a little bit of green and blue, and velvet. From seeing this color, I chose “Rh” as the element because it matched the color spectrum
