no , it only emits energy if it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
an Excited Atom
A Valence electrom.
Electron promotion.
In the Bohr model of the atom, an electron emits a photon when it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
"Absorbed"
it loses energy
The electron in the atom becomes excited as something adds energy to it, moving it to a higher energy level. When the electron moves back to the normal energy level, called a ground state, it emits light of a given frequency.
excitation
Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level. Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level. It takes energy to do that.
the electron will gain energy
The electron gains energy.
In the Bohr model of the atom, an electron emits a photon when it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
The electron gains energy.
excited
No, the energy released by electron might be taken by enviornment. Electron remains in the infuence of corresponding nuclei, in another energy level.
This electron is called excited.
"Absorbed"
it loses energy
Electrons are normally in an energy level called the ground state. In the ground state electrons absorb heat energy and then get into the excited state where they release the energy and exert light energy. The light energy can be seen with a spectroscope with a unique bright line emission spectrum.
