When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?
Even an electron excited to a higher than normal energy level remains sufficiently close to the nucleus of its atom that the atom as a whole remains neutral.
An atom in an excited state .?
... is called an ion.
What is the ground state electronic configuration of a neutral atom of element X?
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
According to Bohr's theory what would an excited atom do?
radiate energy
Which term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
Ionized atom Excited atom
When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
What state is an atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level?
An atom in which an electron has moved up to a higher level is in an excited state. The lowest state of the atom is called the ground state.Ê
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?
Even an electron excited to a higher than normal energy level remains sufficiently close to the nucleus of its atom that the atom as a whole remains neutral.
An atom in an excited state .?
... is called an ion.
What is HTE difference between an atom in the ground state and an atom in an excited state?
Atom in the ground state is stable but atom in excited state is not stable the main reason for this is their energies.Atoms in excited state has more energy so they undergo chemical reaction so they are not stable but atoms in ground state has less energy than the excited state so they dont undergo chemical reaction.
An atom is in an excited state when it has its lowest energy?
No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels
What is the difference between a neutral atom an ion and an excited atom?
A neutral atom is an atom with an equal number of electrons and protons without any additional energy. An excited atom has electrons that have absorbed energy and moved up to another layer. Ions are atoms that have a different number of electrons from the neutral atom.
If an atom has 80 protons and 121 neutrons and is not in an excited state how many electrons does the atom have?
80
The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?
It depends on the atom. For example, the electron configuration of an atom of boron in the ground state is 2-3. In the excited state, it would be 2-2-1. For an atom of chlorine, the ground state configuration is 2-8-7. The excited state would be 2-8-6-1. When an atom enters the excited state, an electron moves up to a higher energy level and releases energy. An electron in the excited state is not stable until it returns to ground state.
What is the ground state electronic configuration of a neutral atom of element X?
It is the electron configuration of a neutral, not excited atom.
