  2. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    An emission spectrum is formed when an excited gas is viewed directly through a spectroscope. Schematic diagram of spontaneous emission Emission spectroscopy is a spectroscopic technique which examines the wavelengths of photons emitted by atoms or molecules during their transition from an excited state to a lower energy state.

  3. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    The nature of the excited and ground states depends only on the element. Ordinarily, there are no bonds to be broken, and molecular orbital theory is not applicable. The emission spectrum observed in flame test is also the basis of flame emission spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, and flame photometry. [4] [13]

  4. Fundamental series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_series

    Bergmann observed lithium at 5347 cm −1, sodium at 5416 cm −1 potassium at 6592 cm −1. [2] Bergmann observed that the lines in the series in the caesium spectrum were double. His discovery was announced in Contributions to the Knowledge of the Infra-Red Emission Spectra of the Alkalies, Jena 1907. [3] Carl Runge called this series the ...

  5. Spectral line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line

    The higher the temperature of the gas, the wider the distribution of velocities in the gas. Since the spectral line is a combination of all of the emitted radiation, the higher the temperature of the gas, the broader the spectral line emitted from that gas. This broadening effect is described by a Gaussian profile and there is no associated shift.

  6. Lithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium

    Lithium reacts with water easily, but with noticeably less vigor than other alkali metals. The reaction forms hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide. [10] When placed over a flame, lithium compounds give off a striking crimson color, but when the metal burns strongly, the flame becomes a brilliant silver.

  7. Diffuse series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_series

    Since the Electron in the D subshell state is not the lowest energy level for the alkali atom (the S is) the diffuse series will not show up as absorption in a cool gas, however it shows up as emission lines. The Rydberg correction is largest for the S term as the electron penetrates the inner core of electrons more.

  8. United States vehicle emission standards - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_vehicle...

    Emissions from all non-road engines are regulated by categories. [49] In the United States, the emission standards for non-road diesel engines are published in the US Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40, Part 89 (40 CFR Part 89). Tier 1–3 Standards were adopted in 1994 and was phased in between 1996 and 2000 for engines over 37 kW (50 hp ...

  9. Isotopes of lithium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lithium

    Naturally occurring lithium (3 Li) is composed of two stable isotopes, lithium-6 (6 Li) and lithium-7 (7 Li), with the latter being far more abundant on Earth. Both of the natural isotopes have an unexpectedly low nuclear binding energy per nucleon (5 332.3312(3) keV for 6 Li and 5 606.4401(6) keV for 7 Li) when compared with the adjacent lighter and heavier elements, helium (7 073.9156(4) keV ...
