    Purpose/Objective: The ground state is the normal electron configuration of atoms or ions in an element. When atoms or ions in ground state are heated to a higher temperature, some electrons absorb enough energy to move them to higher energy levels. This is known as the excited state. However, the excited configuration is unstable, and the electrons must return back to their positions in the lower energy level. As they return, the energy that was previously absorbed is now emitted in the form of electromagnetic energy. This energy can be displayed in the form of visible light. The main purpose/objective of this lab was to observe the characteristic colors produced by certain metallic ions when they are vaporized in a flame.…

    Despite the North having more production and population, the South could have won the Civil War with a few adjustments. Notice how the South’s largest production is cotton, compared to the North. The North had a balance of different types of production, which enabled the soldiers to be easily equipped with materials and accumulate wealth. One of the major reasons why the South lost was that it spent more on cotton production instead of increasing the other types of production. If it spent more on the different types, it could have won. The South depended heavily on agricultural type of labor, through the use of slaves. The slave owners did not free the slaves, since they were needed to cultivate the cotton to raise profit for the owners. Moreover,…
