Are atoms divided up into groups according to color?
No. Atoms are divided into groups according to their proprieties and electron configurations.
According to the Bohr model what determines the color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another?
Let's start with a basic concept. The color of light is determined by its frequency. And higher frequency light has more energy than lower frequency light. As regards electrons shifting energy levels, when an electron wants to move to a lower energy level, it must radiate energy to do this. And the energy it radiates will be exactly the "right amount" for that electron to go to that lower energy leve. The greater the difference in the starting and finishing energy levels, the more energy the electron will have to radiate away. And this will determine what the energy of the photon will have to be. It will determine its frequency, and, therefore, its color.
Which color of light does the smallest energy drop of an electron produce?
The smallest drop of an electron between two energy states in an atom flips out a photon of radio with a frequency of about 1,420 MHz (wavelength = about 21 centimeters).
How did Bohr explain the line spectrum of hydrogen?
The difference in energy between the energy levels determines color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another.
What has to happen before you can move to a new energy level in the electron cloud?
When an electron falls from a higher to lower energy level, it emits a photon. Atom will emit only light with a wavelength (color).
Are atoms divided up into groups according to color?
No. Atoms are divided into groups according to their proprieties and electron configurations.
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.
Why does sodium give yellow color in the flame test?
There would be electron transitions in sodium atoms while the flame test. The majority of them would emit photons which would have same energy and frequency corresponding to yellow color.
What does the electron gun do in a crt monitor?
electron gun just fires electrons with certain energy so that when the electrons strikes on the pixels of the screen then they glow up with certain color... this color is defined according to the energy of electron..i.e electrons with high energy will lit up blue &with low energy lit up red color. energy=frequency*plank's constant(n)...
Why white color is good reflector of light even it is mixture of seven colors?
it is more specifically the atoms that make up a chemical or pigment that will determine the color that we see. Each specific atom or combination of atoms has a specific frequency that it is allowed to emit or "reflect". When the photonic or light energy is absorbed by the atoms that make up the paint, the electron shells of those atoms expand. Each atom will eventually pull the electron shells back in where they belong into their original place. When that happens, a specific amount of the absorbed energy is emitted or released by the atom. That is the energy that we see. The atoms that make up paint that we view as a dark color such as black, keep more energy than they give back. That is why they heat up faster, they are holding onto more energy. The atoms that make up paint that we view as a light color such as white, give back more energy than they keep, this is why they feel cooler than darker colors and take longer to heat up. So the answer to the question is that the atoms in white paint give away most of the energy that they absorb and emit that back to our eye which then absorbs and processes the energy.
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.

What color is electricity?
Colorless ElectricityElectricity itself doesn't have a color. It a voltage and current created by magnets and coils. Electricity is a Electron potential (voltage - V) and/or Electron flow (current - I). Every thing out there is made out of Atoms, where the outside of any Atom is Electrons. When Electrons flow through a medium, it causes energy to be released by those Atoms in the medium, and some energy is lost from the Electrons. This is Electric Resistance (R). This energy is released as Photons [not Protons]. Photons are the light, Electromagnetic waves, the conjugate of Electrons. Photons are perpendicular to Electrons and have a wavelength. Photons have a colour and some Photons can be seen, if their wavelength is within the human vision. The wavelength of the Photons released depends on the Energy lost by the Electrons in flowing through that medium and the various characteristics of the atoms of the medium.
When a photon is emmit out from the atom its color is same as the atom color?
No. The color of the electron depends on the energy difference between the levels from/to which it is changing.
The color of light emitted by an atom is most closely related to?
energy released by the electron
What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?
The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.

Why do you see colors in flame tests?
When an atom is in the flame, an electron in the outer shell of that atom receives energy from the flame and jumps up to a higher shell position. This electron then falls back to is original position and in doing so emits a photon of light of a specific energy. You see this light as a color. Atoms from different elements have different numbers of electrons in their electron shells so the photons emitted as these electrons jump back are all of different energy and therefore emit light of a different color. The color of the flame in the flame test therefore helps to identify the element in the flame producing the colored light.
