HELP PLEASE! I have some homework for my 9th grade physical science class and it's due Monday, I already completed 1/2 of it, if you can answer one or more that'll be really helpful, ty! If a question does not make sense please let me know, each of the pages contain a small paragraph that may be needed to complete the question.

page 2
1. What limitation is placed on electrons in the Bohr model of the atom?

2. When the light from a gas is passed through a prism, why is there only a certain number of lines rather than a continuous spectrum?

3. How is the series of lines emitted by a gas similar to a fingerprint?

4. Explain how scientists can use the pattern of lines from an unknown gas to identify what elements are contained in the gas?

Page 1: #3

Wolfram is known as Tungsten in English (Tungsten's symbol is a W).

Page 2: #1

I think the limitation is that the electrons in the Bohr model are only in certain energy levels and that they orbit the nucleus.

It's been a while since I was in a physical science class so I'm not sure about the rest but I wish you luck! I hope this helps a little bit!
