What affects the electron spectrum
Accepted Answer
Factors affecting electron spectra include:
Energy levels of electrons: The energy difference between electronic states determines the wavelength of light absorbed or emitted.
Atomic/molecular structure: The arrangement of atoms and bonds influences the energy levels and thus the spectrum.
Intermolecular interactions: Interactions between molecules can shift energy levels and influence the spectrum.
External environment: Factors like temperature, pressure, and solvent can also affect the spectrum.
