What is the name of the range of colors emitted by a heated atom?
The name of the range of colors emitted by a heated (energized, excited, etc...) atom is called an emission spectrum.
What does the term bright line spectrum mean?
There are several kinds of spectra. Bright line spectrum, or emission spectrum, is when light emitted by a gas has an electrical discharge going through it, and it produces a spectrum of just a few isolated parallel lines.
Is the Hg emission spectrum continuous or discrete?
Hg emission is discrete, that's why you can only see certain (discrete) frequencies, as excited electrons fall from one level to another. A heated light bulb, on the other hand, emits a continuous spectrum from all of its variously vibrating charges.
When limestone is heated under pressure what does it form?
marble
What gas is produced when CaCO3 is heated?
A fart is created when CaCO3 is heated
What element can produce an atomic emission spectrum in its natural state neon chlorine silicon or Krypton?
Every element can produce an emission spectrum, if it is sufficiently heated. Of the 4 elements that you mention, neon is the most useful, in terms of its emission spectrum, and it is used in a certain type of lighting.
What is the name of the range of colors emitted by a heated atom?
The name of the range of colors emitted by a heated (energized, excited, etc...) atom is called an emission spectrum.
Why do different elements give off a colorful light when heated?
The color depends on the lines of the emission spectrum of each different element.

When an object is heated to higher temperatures what happens to its wavelength of emission?
the wavelength of emission becomes shorter
How is an emission spectrum of an element generated?
All hot solids or dense enough gases emit black body radiation. Gases that are not very dense are are cold absorb particular wavelengths while gases that are not dense but are hot produce their characteristic emission spectrum.
What is a heated catalyst on your 1996 ford Taurus read at a emission diagnostic system?
That is a heated O2 sensor.
Light given off by electric discharge through sodium vapor?
The light given by sodium vapor depends on whether it is a low-pressure or high-pressure lighting system. Low pressure sodium lamps produce a yellow-green light and are less-common today, while high-pressure sodium-halogen produces an orange light. Both types of sodium lighting uses the element sodium, which is heated by a current flow until it becomes luminescent.
What happens to the pressure of gas when it is heated and why?
The molecules of a gas move faster when heated so the pressure increases.
What is the name of the spectrum when elements produce different colors when heated?
Atomic spectra
What is a flame test?
Answer By exposing materials to a hot flame (from a Bunsen burner typically), the color of the flame can be used to identify the material. Certain elements give off a characteristic color when heated to high temperature. See the Related Links for "Wikipedia: flame test" to the bottom for the answer.
