Working principle of atomic emission spectroscopy?

An emission spectrum is the spectrum of frequencies of the electromagnetic radiation emitted (by an atom or molecule) during a transition from a high energy to a low energy level.


How is the light of an emission spectrum of an element produced?

Basically, energy is emitted when an electron falls from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. Such energy is emitted as electromagnetic waves, which in certain cases can be visible light.


Does the brightest color in the visible spectrum have the highest energy level?

The brightness has nothing to do with it. Colors closer to the violet end have more energy.


Is the spectrum of an element limited to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum?

No. The emission and absorption spectrum covers everything from UHF radio to X-rays. (There are no energy level transitions that correspond to the low energy HF or VHF radio bands and below. The lowest-energy transition is the one at 1420 MHz/21 cm.)


How is electromagnetic spectrum related to electrons?

No direct relation; electromagnetic waves are transmitted by photons. However, electromagnetic waves are often caused by the acceleration of electric charges, and those charges are usually electrons. Also, electromagnetic waves are emitted and absorbed when an electron (in an atom) changes to another energy level.


Which form of electromagnetic radiation has highest level of energy how can you tell?

Energy (E) of photons of electromagnetic radiation is given by Planck's equation ..E = hf .. h = Planck constant (6.625^-34 Js), f = frequency (Hz)So E is proportional to frequency .. radiation with the highest frequency is Gamma


What is the highest occupied energy level for chlorine?

The 3rd energy level is the highest occupied energy level for chlorine with seven electrons.


What is the electromagnetic spectrum of fire?

During a flame test the electrons of the metal tested absorb some of the heat and jump to a higher energy level. The electrons then settle back to a lower, mosre stable level, releasing the energy as light of a given wavelength.


If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?

"Absorbed"


What are the highest energy level electrons of an atom called?

The highest energy level is called the "electronegativity".
