Which absorption spectrum is equivalent to a fingerprint of a substance?
the infrared spetra
A line spectrum is to an element as a person is to a?
to a eye to a eye
What is the definition of an atomic fingerprint?
It is important to know the definition of terms in science. An atomic fingerprint is defined as the unique set of lines an element has based on its energy level.
Why is fingerprint spray better than iodine?
fingerprint spray is better than iodine because iodine can smudge the fingerprint but the fingerprint makes it clear.
List all the possible transitions between n equals 1 and n equals 4 in a hydrogen atom. Which ones correspond to lines in the visible region of the spectrum?
Short Answer: These four lines are utterly specific for Hydrogen, just like a fingerprint.
The fingerprint of an atom is seen in its?
bright line spectrum
Which region of ir spectrum is reffered to as fingerprint region?
1700cm
Which absorption spectrum is equivalent to a fingerprint of a substance?
the infrared spetra
A line spectrum is to an element as a person is to a?
to a eye to a eye
Why line spectrum is called finger print spectrum?
It is unique to a specific atom. The emission spectrum of sodium, for example, has two characteristic lines close together in the yellow part of the spectrum, which cannot be found in any other atom. Each line in a spectrum relates to a change in electron state or level.
What is the use of the importance of the fingerprint region in infrared spectroscopy?
The fingerprint region in infrared spectrscopy is used for identifying compounds by matching the sample spectrum to the standard. The fingerprint region is specific to each compound. Very similar compounds will have small differences in the fingerprint region so the fingerprint region can be used to differentiate them.
How is the spectrum for an element similar to a person's fingerprint?
Each element has its own unique spectrum, just as each person has his/her own unique set of fingerprints.
The spectrum of a star is called a what?
... a photonic 'fingerprint'. The picture of a star's spectral lines is its photo-spectrograph.
What evidence do you have the sun contains the element iron?
The spectral lines. Each element has a characteristic "fingerprint" in a spectrum.
What evidence do you have that the sun contains the element iron?
The spectral lines. Each element has a characteristic "fingerprint" in a spectrum.
What is the definition of an atomic fingerprint?
It is important to know the definition of terms in science. An atomic fingerprint is defined as the unique set of lines an element has based on its energy level.
What are the strengths of infrared spectrometry?
Infrared spectrometry can provide a complex fingerprint which is unique to the compound being examined. As its instruments as computer controlled, the matching of the spectrum of a compound to its standard fingerprint can be readily carried out.
