How does the electron configuration of an atom relate to the amount of light emitted during an energy releasing event?

The brighter the light the more energy is being released, which may alter the arrangement and quantity of electrons in the outer shells within an atom's electron configuration.

Why do selenium and sulfur have similar chemical properties in terms of electron configuration?
This is because they both have the same amount of valence electrons look on thereferencetable periodic table of elements if your in chemistry.
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 does the electron configuration of the noble gases affect their reactivity?
Electronegativity affects the amount of ions in an element thus affecting the formation of an ionic compound. The more electronegativity, the more ions, the greater ability to react.
When you say an electron is in its ground state what does that mean?
when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD
What is the properties of noble gases as a result of their stable electron configuration?
Noble gases have a stable electron configuration with a full outermost energy level, which makes them very unreactive. This means that they do not easily form compounds with other elements. They have low boiling and melting points, and are colorless and odorless gases at room temperature. Additionally, noble gases have high ionization energies, which means it requires a large amount of energy to remove an electron from their outermost energy level.
What is the electron configuration for a fluorine atom in the excited state?
Ground state: 1s2 2s2 2p5Excited state: 1s2 2s2 2p4 3s1In the excited state, one of the 2p electrons jumped into a 3s orbital. This is unstable, and the electron will jump back down, releasing energy in the same amount of energy that was required to excite the electron initially.
Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?
Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called a?
Energy lost by an electron during its transition from an outer to an inner orbit is emitted as a flash of light called an emission. Light/energy emissions are released in a characteristic manner (wavelength) that corresponds to the amount of energy lost.
Why the kinetic energy of the emitted electrons varies up to a maximum value?
Let the work function of a metal be W. Let C be a constant of the dimension of energy. if Kis the maximum kinetic energy of an electron then.......W=C-K..... (K HERE IS THE ENERGY SUPLIED BY A PHOTON TO THE ELECTRON)

What factors determine an element's chemical properties?
There are specific factors that can contribute to a the properties of chemical elements. Some of these factors include the amount of valance electrons in the element.
Does photoelectric effect take place below threshold frequency?
The threshold frequency for photoelectric emission is the smallest possible frequency a photon can have to be absorbed/emitted by an electron moving between energy levels in an atom. Explanation: Since electrons can't exist /between/ energy levels, and each electron would be moved a very specific amount by any given photon, only photons of certain frequencies can be properly absorbed/emitted, necessitating a minimum frequency.

Which factor controls the amount of radiation emitted from the xray tube?
mA
What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom and the energies of the electrons in the atom?
Light Energy increases as you move down the period table among the alkali group.
What is the difference between sodium ion and neon atom?
They all have full outer shells. in other words 8 electrons in the outer shell
