What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
What does the absorption spectrum of an atom show?
The absorption spectrum of an atom shows that the atom emits that spectrum which it absorbs.
What causes an electron in an atom o move to a higher energy level?
excitation
What is a radioactive atoms?
A radioactive atom is an atom that has an unstable nuclear force, and therefore either absorbs or emits a radioactive particle.
When an atom undergoes oxidation what happens to the number of neutrons?
Oxidation is a chemial reaction; the atom and the number of neutrons remains unchanged.
What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
What causes an electron in an atom to move to higher energy level?
excitation
What does the absorption spectrum of an atom show?
The absorption spectrum of an atom shows that the atom emits that spectrum which it absorbs.
What causes an electron in an atom o move to a higher energy level?
excitation
When an atom of 16N emits beta what does it make?
16O
What is an unstable atom that emits energy called?
This is a radioactive isotope.
Did carbon atom undergoes hybridisation to form carbon dioxide?
yes
What is a parent atom?
A parent atom is a term used to describe the original state of an atom or element before it undergoes a chemical change. For instance, it may be used when discussing radioactive decay. The original element would be the parent atom, and the element that results from the radioactive decay would be the daughter atom. It may also be used when discussing ions. The parent atom would be the element before it undergoes ionization, and the daughter atom would be the resulting cation or anion.
Is energy is conserved when an atom emits a photon of light?
Energy is ALWAYS conserved. The appropriate sum of mass and energy is always conserved. If an atom emits a photon, the atom has less energy/mass, and the universe minus that atom has more energy/mass. It's like carrying some energy from here to there.
True or false unstable atom that decomposes and emits energy is called retroactive?
No, it's called "radioactive." "Retroactive" is something that's active in regards to the past.
What is a radioactive atoms?
A radioactive atom is an atom that has an unstable nuclear force, and therefore either absorbs or emits a radioactive particle.
What change in atomic mass when an atom emits gamma radiation?
It remains the same.
