WHAT IS Very light particle in an atom?
An electron.
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?
The energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons is called the
Sketch an atom emitting light. Does the electron end up in a higher or lower orbit. Repeat for an atom absorbing light?
When an atom emits light an electron has fallen from a higher orbit to a lower orbit. The amount of energy the emitted photon has will equal the energy difference between the initial and final orbits.
How light is given off by the movement of electrons in an atom?
Electron transitions release photons.
Red light CANNOT cause an electron to be ejected from a potassium atom because of?
the energy of red light is not sufficient to eject electrons from the valence shell of the potassium atom.
How do you generate light?
Light is generated when photons are emitted from an atom. This occurs when an electron on one energy level of an atom falls to a lower energy level.
Emission of light from an atom occurs when the electron?

The formation of a positive ion?
occurs when an electron is removed from an atom
Can light be bent or refracted when it hits a new material at a angle?
Light can only be bent by gravity, therefore, refraction occurs when light hits an atom's electron and is scattered in a different direction.
What type of bonds occurs when an electron leaves an atom of an element and joins another atom?
Ionic
WHAT IS Very light particle in an atom?
An electron.
What is the energy change that occurs when an atom gains electrons called?

What change occurs with the atom when it is emitting light?
An electron has dropped from a higher energy state to a lower one. The photon emitted has precisely the same energy as was lost by the electron.
What Is geological electron capture?
Electron capture occurs when an electron from the innermost orbital of an atom is captured by a nucleus, which leads to the conversion of a proton into a neutron.
What is a chemical bond that occurs when an atom transfers electron?
an ionic bond
Why light is shining?
it is higly speed waves which knock out electron from gas atom in air or which provide energy to electron of atom due which electron jum to higher energy shell and continously this process occure and spark light are produce.
10 What occurs in an atom to produce an ion?
To produce a negative ion (anion): an electron is gained. To produce a positive ion (cation): an electron is loss.
