Across
- 1. the energy required to remove the electron from the atom
- 7. the smallest particle of a chemical element
- 8. with a positive electric charge
- 9. the analysis of Spectra
- 12. the difficult problem of ascertaining the actual positions and motions of stars
- 13. strongest recorded dark lines
- 15. used in measuring the distances to nearby Stars
- 16. Gives positive identification of the chemical elements that produced it
Down
- 2. when an atom has the least possible energy
- 3. when the electron falls back down the atom radiates that energy in the form of a pellet of light called a
- 4. are produced when an atom of a chemical element absorbs light and the electrons jump out to higher energy levels
- 5. Or the spectrum of stars are absorption Spectrum
- 6. the distance to an imaginary star whose Parallax is one second of an arc (1”)
- 10. are produced when electrons jump from the higher energy levels back down to lower energy levels
- 11. apparent change in a star's position observed when the star is sighted from opposite sides of the Earth's orbit
- 14. which element has its own unique set of allowed electron orbits or…
