Because emission spectrum are the result of the electron configuration of the element and no two elements have exactly the same electron configuration.

A substance made of the atoms of two or more different elements?

A compound is a substance made of the atoms of two or more different elements bonded together chemically. These elements can combine in various ratios to form different compounds with unique properties. Examples include water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).


Are noble gasses elements with metallic and non metallic properties?

No. Noble gasses are elements that rarely, if ever form chemical bonds. The elements with both metallic and nonmetallic properties are the metalloids.


Has there ever been a meteorite discovered on earth made up of metals that are not found on the periodic table of elements?

No, all elements present in meteorites are found on the periodic table of elements. The formation of meteorites is linked to the same materials that make up the Earth and other celestial bodies, so they are composed of known elements.


How do atoms differ one another?

Atoms of different elements are different because the have different numbers of protons. The atomic number (the number of protons) is what defines which element the atom is. For example, all atoms containing 1 proton are hydrogen. 2 protons are helium, 3 lithium and so on. See the periodic table of elements for more. Atoms of the same element can still be slightly different in the number of neutrons they have; these are called isotopes. Their properties stay the same but they have different masses. You need not consider electrons too much because most atoms have a relatively loose hold on electrons and don't account for much mass BUT!!!! electron configuration is the main factor for determining how elements will react with each other.


Does the speed of light ever slow down?

The speed of light is different in different substances ... air, water, glass, jello, etc.

Does the chemical makeup quartz ever change?

No chemical formulas ever change. If there are different elements in a compound, it ceases to remain the same compound, and becomes a new compound.The chemical formula for quartz is SiO2. That is, always was, and always will be the chemical formula for quartz.


Are there ever different elements in the same compound?

If you mean can two samples of a chemical compound be different in their composition, the answer is no. If you mean does a chemical compound contain different elemnts then the answer is yes, chemical compounds are always made up of 2 or more different elements. yes. Take salt for example. it is composed of sodium and chlorine in equal parts. for a more complex example, look up Nylon, glucose (sugar), or 2-4-6 Trinitro Toluene (TNT).

How are the relationship of elements in a group different from the relationship of element in period?

Group - similar reacting properties. SIMILAR not identicalPeriod - ever increasing proton numberAnswer 2:elements in the same period have the same amount of energy levels (in which electrons orbit around the atomic nucleus)elements in the same group have the same number of valance electrons (which are found in the outer most energy level)


Can two elements be combined chemically to make another element?

they are 2 completely different substances usually- If they combine they make a compound or a molecule. this is 2 substances together. Example- H2O=Oxygen+2 Hydrogin atoms(water)
