Go to the website http://chemistry.bd.psu.edu/jircitano/periodic4.html

Next, look at the emission line spectra for the following elements:

Hydrogen (H), Helium (He), Oxygen (O), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar)

(atomic numbers 1, 2, 8, 10, and 18)


1.   Judging from the number of visible energy-level transitions (lines) in the spectra, which of the above elements would you conclude has the most complex atomic structure?



2.   Which element has the least complexity?

Note, however, that number of visible emission lines does not necessarily indicate atomic complexity.
