When an electron gets excited is energy released or absorbed?
When an electron gets excited, energy is absorbed to move the electron to a higher energy level. This absorbed energy gets released when the electron returns to its original energy level, emitting electromagnetic radiation such as light.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photo-systems 2 absorb light?
Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
When electron hits any wall like thing will it lose all its energy?
The electron does not lose its energy. The electron gets absorbed by the "wall" and the electron/energy becomes part of the "wall" system.
How can a photon be destroyed or created?
A photon can be created when an electron transitions to a lower energy level and emits a photon. Conversely, a photon can be absorbed and "destroyed" when it is absorbed by an electron, causing the electron to transition to a higher energy level.
If energy is absorbed during electron sharing the process is said to be?
endothermic
If you make the electron jump downward then return it to the outer ring what do you notice about the photon released or absorbed?
When an electron jumps downward to a lower energy state in an atom, it releases energy in the form of a photon which is emitted. When the electron returns to the outer ring, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. The energy of the photon absorbed is equal to the energy of the photon released during the downward jump.
Which energy transition may take place in the atom if its electron has absorbed a photon?
The absorbed photon may excite the electron to a higher energy level within the atom. Subsequently, the excited electron may release this energy as a photon by transitioning back to its original energy level. This process is known as emission or fluorescence.
What can be said of the amount of energy that an electron absorbs when it is excited compared to the amount of energy that it releases when it returns to ground state?
When an electron is excited, it absorbs a specific amount of energy to move to a higher energy state. When it returns to its ground state, it releases this absorbed energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy released is equal to the energy absorbed during excitation, following the principle of conservation of energy.
Is energy absorbed or released to form positive ions?
Energy is typically absorbed to form positive ions through ionization. This process involves removing an electron from a neutral atom or molecule to create a positively charged ion. The energy required to remove the electron is known as ionization energy.
Can you explain why an electron's energy increases when it absorbs a photon and also describe what happens to the photon in this process?
When an electron absorbs a photon, its energy increases because the photon transfers its energy to the electron. The photon ceases to exist as a discrete particle and its energy is absorbed by the electron, causing it to move to a higher energy level.
What happens to energy when electrons transfer in electron cloud?
When electrons transfer within an electron cloud, energy can be released or absorbed depending on the nature of the transition. If an electron moves to a higher energy level, energy is absorbed, often in the form of light or heat. Conversely, when an electron falls to a lower energy level, energy is released, typically as electromagnetic radiation (such as photons). This process is fundamental to phenomena like chemical bonding and the emission of light in various materials.
