individual : identification card :: element : __________
Which of the answer choices best completes the analogy?
photon energy level
atomic fingerprint
electron energy level
atomic orbital
please help
Yea the correct answer is atomic fingerprint.
its a horrible answer selection, atomic fingerprint sounds almost like an easy no or a throw away answer, but it makes sense
Atomic fingerprint has to do with the travelling pattern of light or phontos I believe
the answers are poorly crafted.
atomic fingerprint? What is that. If it means emission spectrum, that is a good choice.
a better answer would have been atomic emission spectrum
So, b?
To complete the analogy, we need to find a term that relates to an element in a similar way that an identification card relates to an individual.
An identification card is a form of documentation that provides information about an individual, such as their name, photo, and identifying details. It serves as a way to uniquely identify the person.
Similarly, we need to find a term that serves as a way to uniquely identify an element. An element is uniquely defined by its atomic number, which represents the number of protons in its nucleus. Elements also have characteristic properties, such as their atomic mass and chemical behavior.
Out of the answer choices provided, the term that best completes the analogy is "atomic fingerprint." Just like a fingerprint is unique to an individual, an element's atomic fingerprint (or atomic signature) is unique to that element. It refers to its specific arrangement of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Therefore, the answer is "atomic fingerprint."
