What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
What is the difference between the ground state of an atom and excited state of an atom?
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of the atom.
What is meant when a atom is In ground state?
It is the lowest allowed energy state of an atom, molecule, or ion.
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
How do valence electrons differ from the other electrons in an atom are the outermost energy?
They do not differ in any way, except they are the 1 to 8 electrons in the highest energy ground state orbitals of that atom.
What is the lowest energy stationary state of an atom?
The ground state
An atom in its lowest possible energy state is in what state?
Ground state
What is the lowest energy state of an unbonded atom called?
Excited State -_-
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy the atom is in its what state is it in?
ground state
What is the lowest allowable energy state of an atom?
The state that has the lowest energy is called the ground state. The ground state has no nodes and is in the 1D.
What is the state when all electrons of an atom are in the lowest possible energy levels?
whenever they are in there most stable state , then they are at their lowest energy level. as u provide energy , they get excited and then upgrade to further energy level . and due to loss of energy , they regain earlier positions.
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
That is known as an excited state.
