Heat energy is speeding up the orbit of the electrons and the resulting Doppler shift causes light to be emitted from the electrons.

An electron is jumping from a low energy state to a high energy state with the difference in energy being converted to light.

Heat energy is converting a neutron into a proton and an electron, which is ejected into the orbit of the nucleus, releasing light energy.

An electron is dropping from a higher to a lower energy level with the difference in energy between the two being emitted as light.

A proton is undergoing a nuclear change in the nucleus and is emitting a high energy light wave in the process.

Elements like dirt and air are so common that there is no need to list them in the periodic table.

Dirt IS listed in the periodic table but is not easily recognized because it is listed as one of the rare earths with its old scientific name, dysprosium, symbol Dy.

The periodic table lists only elements made of one kind of material. Dirt is a mixture of elements and compounds.

None of the above is true.

The nucleus of one atom attracts the nucleus of a neighboring atom to form a barrier.

The electrons on the atoms repel other electrons on other atoms when they get close.

The nucleus of one atom repels the nucleus of another atom when it gets close.

The electrons of one attract the nucleus of a neighboring atom to form a barrier.

An electron configuration is unique to each element, much like its atomic spectrum.

If the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons corresponds to the atom's atomic number.

The number of occupied shells corresponds to the atom's atomic number.

Using the periodic table, the outermost occupied shell indicates the group while the number of occupied shells indicates the period.
