When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
What happens when an atom loses an electron from its outer most shell?
well The electrons on that shell have nowhere to go so they jump off and become ionised
What colour is hydrogen gas in space?
red or pink, depends on the valence shell that the electrons jump to
Is The Sixth Sense scary?
No, I do not think it is scary. It is about ghosts and sometimes it makes you jump, but you should not have sleepless nights! It has a really good twist at the end! :)
Do electrons jump to higher energy levels when specific colors of light emitted by an atom in a hot thin gas?
Your question is unclear. However electron jump to a higher energy level when an atom absorbs energy.
What is the process of moving up and down the electron shell?
quantum leap or jump
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.
How the armadillo protected?
Their shell... and they jump
What is the only subatomic particle that can jump from atom to atom?
An electron can jump from atom to atom.
What is the difference in electron movement when you observe a red color of light and a blue color of light?
The energy jump of an electron producing blue light is greater than the energy jump of an electron producing red light.
In the fable of the tortoise how does the tortoise get a broken shell?
His shell breaks when he has to jump to his home from up in the sky
Why is there such a large jump in ionization enery between the second and third ionization energies for magnesium?
The second ionization involves the removal of an electron from the outer S orbital to give a stable noble gas-like electron configuration. However, the third ionization removes an electron from the inner shell, which is much less energetically favorable.
What happens to an electron during a quantum leap?
In physics, a quantum leap or jump is the change of an electron from one energy state to another within an atom. It is discontinuous; electrons jump from one energy level to another instantaneously, with no intervening or intermediary condition. The phenomenon contradicts classical theories, which expect energy levels to be continuous. Quantum leaps are the sole cause of the emission of electromagnetic radiation, including light, which occurs in the form of quantized units called photons. Ironically, when laymen use the term colloquially, they use it to describe large jumps in progress, when in reality a quantum leap is a very small change of state.
How do you get on the sixth lava geyser on poptropica?
Jump from the fourth lava geyser.
Factors that influence the performance of electric insulation?
Good electricity conductors have weak electron bonding (bonding isn't really the right word, but its how well the electrons stick to the atom they're in) in the outer shells of the atoms, meaning electrons can easily jump between atoms. This makes it easy for electricity to flow through the material. Insulators, on the other hand, have strong electron bonding, so electricity can't flow nearly as well. The strength of the electrons' loyalty to the atoms is based on how full the outer shell is. If the shell is nearly empty, they may jump around freely. If the outer shell is full, they will try to stay there to keep it full.
Why is there a sudden jump in the atomic radius in elements in group 18 and the next higher element in the next period in group 1?
When the element moves from group 18 to group 1, it moves to a new period. Each period has a one more electron shell than the previous. The group 1 element has one more electron shell than the group 18 element; hence, it's atomic radius is greater.
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
