Will an electron excite if it is given energy that will allow it to exist in between two energy levels? No
An electron can only exist in specific energy levels. Giving an electron more energy can make it escape from the attraction of the protons completely and the atom now has 1 less electron and is a +1 ion.
Have you seen an electron discharge tube?
If I turn up the power, the tube will become brighter, but the color will not change. The color of light is the product of the electron returning from the excited state to its ground state.

What determines an elements emission spectrum?
The electron energy levels.
Which electron that would emit the greatest amount of energy by dropping electron levels?
N=2 To N=1 The greatest energy change comes between the lower energy levels.
Are electrons located in energy levels or electron cloud?
Electrons are located in energy levels within the electron cloud.
What are energy levels?
Electron shells.
Why doesn't the electron lose twice as much energy when it moves in two levels as it loses when it moves only one energy level?
The energy gaps between levels are not all the same.
What electron distribution is Mn?
The electron distribution differs between energy levels. In this case, levels one and four have 2 electrons, level 2 has eight, and level 3 has thirteen.
What happens when the electrons relax?
As excited electrons drop back to lower energy levels in the atom, photons having the energy of the difference between the two electron energy levels are emitted from the atom.
Energy levels in an atom?
Energy level in an atom refers to the energy due to atoms bound in an electric field. When an electron jumps from higher energy to lower energy it releases a photon, which has a wavelength.
Is there electron in the energy levels of a atom?
Yes there are
Who determined that electron energy levels are fixed?
me
Which condition will release more energy when an electron changes levels?
When the energy levels are farther apart.
Can atoms be ionized by being excited?
No. When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.) An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron. But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.
