What else can I help you with?
If considering two different atoms explain the spectral lines?
Spectral lines are bright or dark lines in an otherwise continuous or uniform spectrum. They are caused by an excess (emission lines) or deficiency (absorption lines) of observed photons within certain frequency ranges. Absorption lines usually come from a background continuum; photons are absorbed when passing through matter to the observer. Absorption occurs when an electron within an atom absorbs a photons energy and is bumped up to an excited state. Emission lines usually come from hot gases; photons are emitted from these gases and reach the observer. Emission occurs when an electron within an atom falls back down to it's ground state and releases energy in the form of a photon.
What is ejected from atoms when they wiggle?
photons
Is a carbon carbon bond non polar?
Yes. A bond between two atoms of the same element is nonpolar. Polarity occurs when an atoms with differing electronegativity values bond.
What is the number of atoms in an element?
The number of atoms in an element depends on WHAT element AND how much of that element.
What has a neutral electric charge?
atoms, molecules, neutrons, neutrinos, photons and others
How do photons work in the process of light absorption and emission?
Photons are particles of light that carry energy. When light is absorbed by a material, photons transfer their energy to the material's atoms, causing them to become excited. This excitation can lead to the emission of light when the atoms return to their original state, releasing photons in the process.
Explain the energy transfer on the atomic level?
Energy transfer on the atomic level occurs through interactions such as collisions between atoms or through electromagnetic forces like radiation. When atoms collide, kinetic energy is transferred from one atom to another. Electromagnetic forces can transfer energy through the emission or absorption of photons by atoms.
What part of the star is responsible for the dark lines in its spectrum?
The dark lines in a star's spectrum are caused by absorption of specific wavelengths of light by the elements in the star's outer atmosphere. This absorption occurs when the elements in the atmosphere absorb photons of specific energies, leading to the creation of dark absorption lines in the spectrum.
What is the primary mechanism of atmospheric heating?
The primary mechanism is KINETIC; the increase in the motion of atoms and molecules that is due to the absorption of incident Energy in the form of Photons.
What does light absorption require the presence of?
Light absorption requires the presence of a material that is capable of absorbing light energy. This material typically contains atoms or molecules that can undergo a transition of electron energy levels when exposed to light, resulting in the absorption of photons.
What is needed for the absorption of light energy?
For the absorption of light energy, a substance must contain molecules or atoms capable of absorbing light at specific wavelengths. These molecules or atoms will absorb the energy from the light photons, causing an electronic transition that leads to the absorption of light energy. This absorption process will vary depending on the molecular structure and electronic configuration of the absorbing species.
What makes gold shiny?
Light is composed of very small packages of electromagnetic energy called photons. We are able to see objects because light photons from the sun (or other light source) reflect off of the atoms within the object and some of these reflected photons reach the light sensors in our eyes and we can see the objects. It takes many millions of photons entering our eyes each second for us to view the world. When photons of light hit the atoms within an object three things can happen. First, the photons can bounce back from the atoms in the object; we call this reflection. Second, the photons can pass through an object such as glass and we call them transparent. Three, the photons can be stopped by the atoms within the object and the photon energy is converted to heat; we call this absorption.

What is the smallest part of an element that occurs naturally?
The smallest part of an element that occurs naturally is an atom. Atoms are the basic units of matter and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is ejected from atoms when they wiggle?
photons
What is k edge absorption?
In science and physics, k-edge absorption is when the shell of an electron in that atom cannot eject the K shell electron. This typically occurs when there is too many photons occurring at once.
Radioactive decay occurs when atoms of an unstable element?
It means that massive nuclei break apart.
