John Shepherd - Fall 1998

I found the following a useful reference for using the goggle boxes.  The images are taken from

• Darrell Ebbing. 1996. General Chemistry. 5th Edition. (the CHM 111 text in F98)

Figure 7.2, page 273 Emission (line) spectra of some elements.  The lines correspond to visible light emitted by atoms.  Wavelengths are nanometers.

• Hydrogen Helium and Mercury Atomic Emission Spectra- these match three of the elemental light bulbs the Chemistry department has.
• Na, Li, Sr, Ba, Ca, Cd Atomic Emission Spectra

Figure 7.10, page 282. give some explanatory background
