Explanation:

Each atom's unique electron - orbit pattern leads to distinct energy levels. When electrons transition between these levels, they absorb or emit photons of specific energies, resulting in characteristic absorption or emission spectra for each atom type.

Answer:

each type of atom shows different absorption or emission spectra.
