<p>Anyone good with chemistry? I’m stuck on a chem question, and I need some help. Please PM of AIM me if you can help. Thanks!</p>
<p>ok. Here’s the question. Nobody has been able to answer it yet. </p>
<p>Atomic spectroscopy is used in police laboratories for the identification of samples collected at crime scenes-bullet fragments, for example. A bullet typically might consist of an alloy of several metals (copper, zinc, lead, etc.). How would you expect the atomic spectrum of a mixture of elements to compare to the individual spectra of the constituent elements in the sample? Would you expect the spectra of a mixture to be a superimposition of the individual spectrum, or would you expect the spectral emissions of one atom to influence the spectrum of another atom? Discuss.</p>
