Please have your planner open to your periodic table, or open open ptable.com in a second tab. You will need to use the periodic table to answer some questions.
Before every question there is an audio file reading you the question.

2.
A chemistry graduate student is very skilled at analyzing atomic emission spectra. The printout of her spectrum is printed in black and white. Therefore she has to rely on comparing the widths and positions of spectral lines during analysis. Observe the various atomic emission spectra shown in the figure below. Which of the elements shown makes up the unknown spectrum (highlighted in the red box)? Click on the picture to zoom in on it.

18.
Liquid Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, diatomic element used in many fun experiments. When exposed to room temperature, liquid nitrogen immediately begins to boil into nitrogen gas. Your classmate says that this is a chemical change because a gas was produced which wasn’t present before. Is your classmate correct, or incorrect? Explain.
