6 The Spectra of Elements Everybody knows that a few drops of soup or milk spilled onto a gas burner will change the blue gas flame into a mixture of colors, predominantly yellow. These colors can be used to identify the elements present in the substance dropped into the flame. We will observe the colors produced by several known substances. The color observed in the flame is the result of atoms of the element absorbing energy from the flame then reemitting it. The energy absorbed has an energy and wavelength in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. What your senses detect as light is actually radiation that is part of a continuum that makes up the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum of energies ranging from the high-energy gamma and x-rays to low-energy radio and microwaves. Radiation includes any energy emitted in all directions from a single source, not just nuclear decay. Light is one form of energy that can be radiated; - the sun constantly radiates energy into space as its matter is converted into energy. We see this light in a variety of colors, depending on the wavelength of the energy when it reaches us. The waves of light with the longest wavelength (red) are refracted (bent) to a lesser degree than the shorter waves (indigo and violet) as they pass through the atmosphere. The visible range of the spectrum is from about 400 nm to 700 nm. The wavelength () is the distance between successive peaks of a wave. The number of waves that pass a given point in space per second is the frequency (f). The unit is inverse time, sec -1 and is also called hertz (Hz). All light moves through a vacuum at the same rate of speed, about 3 X 10 8 m/s (the speed of light c). Frequency and wavelength are inversely related to each other, as the product of the two equals the speed of light: c = f. Since the electrons of an atom can only absorb certain amounts of energy, the wavelength of the energy emitted after excitement of the atoms is characteristic of the element. When viewed through a spectroscope, the spectrum of energy emitted by a sample of a particular element can be observed. 1. Use the spectroscope to view each of the gas tubes set up in the back of the lab. Each colored band corresponds to a different amount of energy (a different wavelength) of light emitted by an electron in the element. Each element has a unique spectrum based on the amount of energy emitted by its electrons 2. Record the details of the colored lines formed on the scale of your spectroscope and the wavelength of each line. Using the equations we have discussed in class, solve for the frequency and energy of each of the gases observed. If a substance has multiple lined, calculate frequency and energy for each line. Express each answer to three significant digits. Express the energy in ergs. In the next part of our investigation, we will use a procedure known as a flame test to become familiar with the colors produced by several common elements and use these observations to better understand the affect of energy on atoms and ions. 3-6

7 Procedure: a. Light a Bunsen burner. Make sure that the gas burns with a clear blue flame and has an easily distinguishable inner blue cone. b. Obtain samples of ions as provided by your teacher. These will be metal nitrates, dissolved in a solvent to allow easy distribution of the ion. c. Using the spray bottles, introduce a small amount of each ion (one squirt) into the flame and observe the result. d. After you have identified the color produced by each ion, mix two of the substances and see if you can detect the presence of each of the substances or if the colors mingle so that one cannot be distinguished from the other. e. Obtain an unknown sample and observe the colors produced. Try to identify the element present in the unknown sample. Color Key: Na = Yellow green Sr = Deep red K = Violet Li = Crimson Ca = Yellow-red Ba = Green-yellow Cu = Blue- 1. What is the order of the colors in the spectrum from lowest to highest wavelength? 2. What is the order of metallic ions from lowest to highest wavelength? 3. What correlations if any do you see between the electron configuration of the metallic elements and the energy given off by exciting their electrons Further Analysis In 1913, Neils Bohr hypothesized that the electron in the hydrogen atom is allowed to have only certain amounts of energy. These energy levels would be orbits in which the electron in hydrogen would circle the nucleus of hydrogen. He believed that the electron would move from one energy level to another and would give off light when it jumped from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The amount of energy would be different for jumps between different levels. 1) The diagram below shows a sketch of some of the possible orbits of the hydrogen electron and their corresponding energy values. If we think of the energy values as being on a number line, which orbit has the greatest value? 3-7

8 2) When an electron jumps from E 2 to E 1 the amount of energy in the light would be E 2 E 1 ; or (-3.4 ev) (-13.6 ev) which would equal 10.2 ev. What would be the amount of energy in the light when an electron jumps from: a) E 3 to E 4 b) E 4 to E 2 c) E 3 to E 2 d) E 5 to E 2 3) Using Bohr s model, we would assume that the electron would only move between certain orbitals or energy levels. Every possible jump corresponds to light of a different energy. a. How many different energies of light can be emitted from hydrogen when the electron jumps down to E 2 from E 3, E 4, E 5, and E 6? b. How many bands of light did you observe when you viewed the hydrogen tube through the spectrometer? c. How do you think these two observations are related? 4) The colors corresponding to jumps to the E 1 level have higher energies or lower, than those to the E 2. a. As the electron jumped from the E 6 all the way to the E 1 level, how many different energies would be emitted? b. Did you see all of these bands? Explain why or why not. c. Bohr did not find bands corresponding to the jumps to the E 3 level. Why do you think that was? Conclusions: In this activity we saw the evidence that energy is emitted in particular patterns depending on the distance that an electron travels between one orbital and another. The number of electrons in an atom and the number of energy levels those electrons occupy determine the number of bands of light and the color of the light seen. What if any conclusions can you draw about the relative numbers of electrons in the atoms of our test atoms? 3-8
