Structure 1. Models of the particulate nature of matter » Structure 1.3—Electron configurations » Structure 1.3.1—Emission spectra. Emission spectra are produced by atoms emitting photons when electrons in excited states return to lower energy levels. Qualitatively describe the relationship between colour, wavelength, frequency and energy across the electromagnetic spectrum. Distinguish between a continuous and a line spectrum.
