    Q1. What can you conclude about the elements and the color of flame produced?

    <p>The color of the flame is directly related to the specific element present in the metal salt</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Q2. If sodium nitrate is changed to another salt of sodium, ex. Sodium chloride (table salt), do you think the color of the flame would be the same or different. Why?

    <p>The color of the flame would be different because the wavelength of light emitted by sodium chloride is distinct from that of sodium nitrate</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Q3. How did Neils Bohr explain the spectral lines of an element shown in the spectroscope?

    <p>Bohr explained that spectral lines represent different energy transformations within an atom due to electron movement</p> Signup and view all the answers
