Is it possible for two metals to have the same emission spectrum?

No. It is not possible for two metals to have the same emission spectrum. For metals to have the same emission spectrum, they would need for their electrons to have duplicate orbitals. That would be impossible due to the exclusion principle.


Explain the difference between the continuous spectrum of white light and the atomic emission spectrum of an element?

The difference between continuous spectrum and the atomic emission espectrum of an element is that in emission spectrum, only certain specific frequencies of light are emitted while in a continuous spectrum, a continuous range of colors are seen in the visible light.

How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum?

An emission spectrum depend on electrons transition in the atom of a chemical element; and elements are different.Absorption spectrum is based on the different absorption pics of different molecules, depending on the frequency of radiation.Spectral methods are largely used in analytical chemistry.
