The second Bohr's paper is dedicated to more complicated applications of Bohr's theory to other atoms and molecules. Product Description emSpectra of Atoms and Molecules, 2nd Edition/em is designed to introduce advanced undergraduates and new graduate students to the vast field of spectroscopy. A spectral line is produced in an atomic or molecular transition from one state to another, usually when an electron changes energy levels. LIBS spectroscopy identifies the elemental breakage emissions (atomic and molecular) generated after excitement from a high energy laser 'spark'. Bohr knew the result he wanted to get - the 1/n^2 spectrum of the atom. The photoelectron spectrum of a molecule contains a series of peaks, each corresponding to a molecular orbital energy level. Now, researchers from China, Spain and Sweden STM combined with another method called Raman spectroscopy to determine not only the form but also constituent atoms of a single molecule. The dense molecular clouds where stars form are characterised by an extremely rich chemical composition. The sample of hydrogen that scientists use to obtain these spectra is very pure. In Raman spectroscopy, particles of light, or photons, from a laser hit molecules that are already vibrating at a certain frequency. Spectra of atoms and molecules often consist of a series of spectral lines, each one representing a resonance between two different quantum states. Spectral interferences are caused by presence of another atomic absorption line or a molecular absorbance band close to the spectral line of element of interest. Photoelectron spectras of 4 halogen gases are shown in the figure below. A sample mixture of excited and ionized hydrogen gas containing both atoms and molecules would make the emission spectrum more complex.
