When we talk about 'colorless' gasses, we're talking about gasses where the atoms or bonds that don't interact with visiabe light much. I'm going to ignore these in my explanation below. Gasses that have slight colors will be their colors in liquid or soild form. Some 'colorless' gasses aren't completely colorless. That being said, colorless is generally a misleading term. You'd just have to be really organized.įor most elements the electron band gap that determines color doesnt change based on phase. Granted you may only need to identify a few dozen elements since most recipes probably won't use 75% of the periodic table or the elements are generated in a recognizable, automatable pattern: eg through certain reactions (separating hydrogen & oxygen via electrolysis) or though known radioactive decay chains. For lower tech 'tier' tests, a combination of density, flame tests, melting/boiling/freezing points, or reactivity tests can be run. Atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spectroscopy, or various types of mass spectrometry are usually what we'd use in the lab to compare the sample to known elements. Various forms of spectroscopy are usually the most accurate. I have no clue how anyone would play this mod without WAILA or TOP to help identify them.įor a more immersive experience, they'd probably have to add various tests you can do to identify the element. IRL identifying similar elemental, bulk metal is pretty simple. Whether or not crystal structure and element type can play a significant role in influencing that transition is beyond my knowledge. That being said, halogens generally get their color from an electron transition from the highest antibonding πg molecular orbital and the lowest vacant antibonding σu molecular orbital.
Just the type of element it is can have a big impact on the how the atoms bond with each other in the lattice and what electrons are available to make transitions. I've read about it being classified and either a metal, metaliod, or non-metal by different sources. One of the problems with Astatine is that it's in a weird part of the periodic table. We have models to predict what what it could be but haven't confirmed it yet. Is it about crystal structure and how the light interacts with the crystal lattice (basic structure of many solids)? If so I don't think we've even isolated enough to positively say what the crystal structure of At(s) would be.
