Procedure
1. Start with a very dark room.
2. Have students observe and color the continuous visible light spectrum.
3. Show students Hydrogen, have them sketch the line spectrum.
4. Repeat process with oxygen. Show the water as an unknown
5. Have students identify the unknown by comparing the line spectra from the two others.
Explanation
Explanation
Atomic emission is unique and identifiable.
Combinations of elements can be seen individually by their emission spectra.
