The characteristic spectrum of an atom is observed as

1. Pure line spectrum
2. Emission band spectrum
3. Absorption line spectrummmmmm
4. Absorption band spectrum

Correct answer: Pure line spectrum

Solution

An atom has quantized electron energy levels, so transitions between them emit or absorb only specific wavelengths. That gives a pure line spectrum rather than a band spectrum, which is typical of molecules.
