In the “Crush the Can” lab‚ we took an aluminum can‚ heated up some water in it‚ and turned it upside down into a tub of ice-cold water‚ crushing it with pressure. The movement of gas particles was a crucial component of this experiment. After the can was placed onto the hot plate‚ as the water heated up‚ the gas particles inside of the can started to move faster due to the relationship between temperature and the average kinetic energy‚ or average motion energy‚ of the gas particles. As the temperature

electrons want to move back to their original state. As the electrons move down from higher energy levels‚ a photon is emitted. A photon is a particle of light. The absorption of energy‚ and the energy of the energy emitted is quantized. Electrons can take one big step as it reaches its base state and release one photon. Electrons could also take many little steps as it travels to its base state‚ emitting a photon at each level. To determine the energy of the emitted photon we have to look at the
