Every element has a unique emission spectrum. The lines in these spectra deduce the amount of energy released during electron transition from a higher energy level to a lower. After obtaining this spectrum, the scientists can compare them with their tabulated data.

What is the term word for atom?

Atom is the word used to describe a single unit of an element by all professional scientists. That is the only word you should use.


What is the principle of selective media?

Scientists in a lab use selective media and differential media to identify or isolate organisms. Selective media allows only certain types of organisms to grow.


How do you make artificial elements?

Scientists use machines called, Partical Accelerators. These machines move the atomic nuclei faster and faster until they have reached very high speeds.If these fast-moving nuclei crash into the nuclei of other elements with enough energy, the particles can sometimes combine into one single nucleus.


Why do people say that element 115 can bring the dead back to life?

Because the element 115 does in fact reanimate the body. It takes the hadron collider to create just a few atoms of this element though. Element 115 has been around since 2003 when Bob Lazar gave it fame. The true name of element 115 is Ununpentium and it is a radioactive man-made element. Scientists used a cyclotron to fire a rare calcium isotope at an americium target. Element 115 (temporarily named unupentium) was created when the calcium and americium nuclei fused. The unupentium persisted for less than one-tenth of a second before decaying into element 113 (ununtrium), which persisted for over a second.A girl died, her name was Samantha. She died of cancer, but on her death bed she told scientists to bring her the element 115. She died before they got enough to use, but her father "works in a high position for Treyarch" demanded they inject it in to her anyways. They gave her corpse the element 115, but it killed the scientists that administered it to her. But it did in fact bring her back to life. She was the one that killed the scientists, after she got the element 115.

How do scientists use spectroscope to gather information about stars?

Scientists can use spectroscopes to gather information because the light from the stars that passes through has a certain color. Each element on the Periodic Table has a specific color. This way, scientist can figure out of which gases the star consists of.
