The jump is the result of scalar forces being unbalanced. The levels are related to the vector energy (mcV) of the electron. The jumps is related to the angle of velocity cos x = v/c= alpha/n = (7.2e-3)/n, alpha is the Fine Structure Constant.

Which describes electron probe microanalysis to determine the elemental composition of glass?
Electrons excite atoms in a sample, which emit X rays characteristic of the elements within the sample.
What does it mean when an electron behaves in ways that are at least partially indeterminate?
When an electron behaves in ways that are at least partially indeterminate, it means that under identical conditions, the electron does not have the same trajectory and does not "land" in the same spot each time.
Two ways chemical bonds form are?
one way is when electrons are are share between two atoms another is when an atom loses or gaons an electron
If an element is chemically active what is the state of its outer electron shell?
The key to "happiness" for an atom is a full outer electron shell. (The outer electron shell is called the valence shell.) There are two conditions that cause a shell not to be full. Either it has only an electron or two (or three) in the outer electron shell or it's short an electron or two in that outer shell. The direct answer to the question is that if an element is chemically active, its outer electron shell is incomplete or is not full.
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.
What is needed to excite electrons?
For example when the electron absorb energy.
How can radiation have an ionizing effect?
Radiation can excite an electron sufficiently for the electron to leave the atom, thus having an ionizing effect.
Will an electron excite if it is given energy that will allow it to exist in between two energy levels?
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.

How is light a part of photosynthesis?
Light is needed to excite electrons in the electron transport chain to commence photosynthesis.
What does the word excitable mean?
Excite is a verb meaning "to raise an emotional response, usually of happiness or joy". In science, the verb excite means "to raise the energy level of, generally in reference to an electron".
What happens if a conventional flow and a electron flow meet?
What do you mean with "meet"? Conventional flow and electron flow are not two types of currents. They are two ways to analyze the SAME currents.
What are the syllables in excite?
There are two syllables. Ex-cite.
How do you determine the wavelength of light needed to excite and electron from the ground state to the lowest excited state of a mercury atom?
Use the Rydberg equation.
What two ways do electrons behave?
Any particle, such as an electron, also behaves as a wave (as well as behaving like a particle).
How do you write excite in Spanish?
entusiasmar = to excite
When was Excite created?
Excite was created in 1994.
