questionwhat is the relationship between the energy of light emitted and the position of the element in the periodic table?
further explanationI had a lab in class, where we held some compounds (such as stronium chloride, calcium nitrate, & copper sulfate). This was a lab question, & I just wasnt sure how i could answer this, because of the very different outcomes with the elements & their position. Thank you so much for reading!

There is no simple relationship. The only relatively simple answer exists for so called "hydrogen like ions" - that is, you can easily calculate spectra (ie energies required to excite the electron) for ions that were stripped of all electrons but the last one. Google for "Rydberg formula".
