  2. Hydrogen peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_peroxide

    Hydrogen peroxide is a chemical compound with the formula H 2 O 2.In its pure form, it is a very pale blue [5] liquid that is slightly more viscous than water.It is used as an oxidizer, bleaching agent, and antiseptic, usually as a dilute solution (3%–6% by weight) in water for consumer use and in higher concentrations for industrial use.

  3. Hydrogen spectral series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_spectral_series

    The spectral series of hydrogen, on a logarithmic scale. The emission spectrum of atomic hydrogen has been divided into a number of spectral series, with wavelengths given by the Rydberg formula. These observed spectral lines are due to the electron making transitions between two energy levels in an atom.

  4. Emission spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum

    The fact that only certain colors appear in an element's atomic emission spectrum means that only certain frequencies of light are emitted. Each of these frequencies are related to energy by the formula: E photon = h ν , {\displaystyle E_{\text{photon}}=h\nu ,} where E photon {\displaystyle E_{\text{photon}}} is the energy of the photon, ν ...

  5. 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]

  6. Balmer series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series

    The red H-alpha spectral line of the Balmer series of atomic hydrogen, which is the transition from the shell n = 3 to the shell n = 2, is one of the conspicuous colours of the universe. It contributes a bright red line to the spectra of emission or ionisation nebula, like the Orion Nebula , which are often H II regions found in star forming ...

  7. Lyman series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman_series

    In physics and chemistry, the Lyman series is a hydrogen spectral series of transitions and resulting ultraviolet emission lines of the hydrogen atom as an electron goes from n ≥ 2 to n = 1 (where n is the principal quantum number), the lowest energy level of the electron (groundstate).

  8. Fraunhofer lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_lines

    A demonstration of the 589 nm D 2 (left) and 590 nm D 1 (right) emission sodium D lines using a wick with salt water in a flame. The Fraunhofer C, F, G′, and h lines correspond to the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta lines of the Balmer series of emission lines of the hydrogen atom. The Fraunhofer letters are now rarely used for those lines.

  9. Atomic spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_spectroscopy

    In physics, atomic spectroscopy is the study of the electromagnetic radiation absorbed and emitted by atoms. Since unique elements have unique emission spectra , atomic spectroscopy is applied for determination of elemental compositions.
