When the electron emits lights does the electron move up to a higher energy level or down to a lower energy level?
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.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
What is happening within the hydrogen atom to create emission lines?
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.
What causes an electron in an atom o move to a higher energy level?
excitation
Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level Which statement is true of electron X?
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.
What can happenn if an electron moves to a higher energy level?
the electron will gain energy
What happens when a electron moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
When the electron emits lights does the electron move up to a higher energy level or down to a lower energy level?
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.
What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
What state is an electron in when is has moved from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?
excited
When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is it taken from the environment?
No, the energy released by electron might be taken by enviornment. Electron remains in the infuence of corresponding nuclei, in another energy level.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
When electrons jump to a higher energy level they emit or absorb 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.
What is happening within the hydrogen atom to create emission lines?
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.
