∙ 12y agoAn electron jumps to a next discreet higher energy level upon excitation by an external energy source. The energy supplied must be equal to the difference between the two energy bands.

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe state wherein electrons have absorbed energy and jumped to a higher energy level is called the excited state. Its opposite is called the ground state.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt's an excited state. Chemists (especially spectroscopists) have an entire system of nomenclature (including words like "gerade" and "ungerade") to describe WHICH excited state.

What happens when electrons moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
What is the lowest energy level?
1. Atoms do not have energy levels unlike particles like electrons etc.2. The lowest energy for atoms will be 0 at absolute zero temp of 0 deg Kelvin.3. For electrons in all atoms lowest energy is that of 2 electrons nearest to the nucleus.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
Light excites in photosynthetic pigments?
Light excites two sets of photosynthetic pigments. These are photosystem 1 (PS1) and photosystem 2 (PS2). PS1 is excited by photons at about 700 nanometers, while PS2 is excited at about 680 nanometers.
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.
When an electron in an atom moves from a lower energy state to a higher state?
An electrons moves from lower energy to higher energy when it is excited.
When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time higher energy level. These electrons are said to be?
"Excited", or in an "excited state".
What do atoms do when electrons move energy levels?
Atoms don't do anything. If the electrons go to a higher energy state, they use energy. If they fall back to a lower state, they release energy. This shouldn't affect the entire atom, just the electrons.
What is meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
What does it mean when the electrons are excited?
They are in a higher energy orbital than the ground state.
What is light energy absourbed by?
Ultimately, by electrons, which move from one energy state to a higher one with the absorption of photons of energy.
What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
How laser is generated?
When electrons move from one energy level to the other, it emits a energy in the form of photon. This light particle has high wavelength and is known as laser. Here electrons jump from higher energy state to lower energy state.
Is there any other energy state aside from the lowest energy state for an electron?
Yes, while nature will always try to place electrons in their lowest energy configuration, electrons can temporarily occupy higher energy states. When they fall back to the lowest energy state, the difference in energy is released as light - "a photon". Different colors of light reflect differing energy state jumps made by electrons.
Light given off by an atom is its what?
it is its energy emitted by electrons while moving from higher energy state to lower one.
When an atom absorbs energy that causes one of its electrons to move to a higher energy level the atom is said to be in?
Excited state
What is the term for an atom whose electrons have the lowest possible energies?
The term for an atom whose electrons have the lowest possible energies is "ground state." In this state, electrons are in their lowest energy levels or orbitals, closest to the nucleus. Excited states refer to when electrons are in higher energy levels, further away from the nucleus.
