applications of atomic spectra

A spectrum is an assembly of energy levels in the form of radiations emitted by an atom in its excited state. Every atom gives discontinuous line spectra. Each line in the spectra corresponds to a specific wavelength and it is unique to a given element. No tw..

When a substance is heated to a high temperature, the atoms in the vapours get energized. These energized atoms then return to the ground state by emitting electromagnetic radiations of certain definite wavelength. A series of bright lines separated from each other by dark spac..

(i) Radioactive dating This gives us an approximate age of the rock or material containing the radioactive atoms. For e.g., A measurement of a fraction of uranium atom which have decayed into lead (by knowing the half life of uranium) tells us how old the rock is. (ii) Radiat..

Emission and Absorption Spectra - One can understand atomic spectra if one knows the concept of atomic energy levels. The movements of electrons from one level to another causes the spectra. The work of a spectoscopicst is to find the energy levels ..

The concept of hyperconjugation is very useful in explaining stabilities of some organic molecules. Shortening of carboncarbon single bonds adjacent to multiple bonds: For instance in acetonitrile the carbon-carbon bond adjacent to triple bond acquires some double bond character and hence is lit..
