An element is selective in the frequency of light it will absorb This selectivity is due to its?
Every element can only absorb certain wavelengths of light because of how the electrons are positioned around the nucleus. There is a fixed number of energy levels that each electron may move to, and each move will only occur if a specific amount of energy is absorbed. Thus each element, having differing electron orbital states can only absorb certain frequencies of light.
Is an electron radiation?
Electrons are negative energy. When an electron jumps orbitals, it can either absorb or radiate energy in the form of photons.
What happens when an electron emits a photon?
When an electron absorbs a photon, the energy it gains can cause it to change orbitals. The result is ionization. The electron can then emit a photon in the process of "falling back" into its original orbit. Note that electrons won't absorb a photon that cannot give them enough energy to reach a higher orbital. There are no "half measures" in this aspect of quantum mechanics as electrons cannot be shifted "half way" to the next higher orbital. The proof of the pudding here is that we can use lasers of a given frequency to stimulate the electrons in orbit around given atoms. By knowing how much energy a certain electron needs to move to the next higher orbital, we can tune our laser to that photonic energy. Then when we point our laser at a bunch of these atoms, we'll see a bunch of electrons being kicked up to higher orbitals and then emitting photons to return to their previous orbital. There is a bit more to this, but the essentials are here, and are a first step to understanding the subtle ways photons and electrons interact.
What happens when electron jump from atom to atom?
It will absorb or emit energy, according to the difference in the corresponding energy levels.
When an electron gets excited is energy released or absorbed?
To get excited, it must absorb energy. To get back to its ground state, it releases energy.
Why specific solution absorb at specific wavelength?
It has to do with the energy level accessible to the electron in a particular type of bond or orbital. The difference between the two energy levels determines the energy of the quantum step and consequently the frequency of the light absorbed or emitted.
Which ion in manganese nitrate is responsible the compounds colour?
Manganese. Transition metal ions exhibit electron transitions between their electron orbitals which absorb light of certain wavelengths, making the compound coloured.
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
Can free electron absorb photon?
a free electron may absorb a photon only if its parity changes

How light is absorb?
By the agitation of an electron by a photon.
Why will be change in the potato cube in concentrated sugar solution and distilled water respectively after an hour?
In sugar solution the potato cube absorb the solution , but in distilled solution the cube do not absorb it.
When a nucleus has too many protons it can absorb an electron and create .?
A nucleus with too many protons is just a positive ion. It can absorb an electron to create the original atom.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photo-systems 2 absorb light?
Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.
What is needed to excite electrons?
For example when the electron absorb energy.
Is an electron radiation?
Electrons are negative energy. When an electron jumps orbitals, it can either absorb or radiate energy in the form of photons.
How do you spell dissolves?
The correct spelling is "dissolve" (to go into solution, or to absorb into solution).
