An electromagnetic force attraction between opposite charges pulls atoms together, either between electrons and nuclei, or as the result of a dipole attraction.

Do electrons jump to higher energy levels when specific colors of light emitted by an atom in a hot thin gas?
Your question is unclear. However electron jump to a higher energy level when an atom absorbs energy.
Can an electron jump from sixth shell to second shell?
yes. in the case of hydrogen atom jumping of an electron from 6th level to 2nd level cause balmer series
What happens when an atom loses an electron from its outer most shell?
well The electrons on that shell have nowhere to go so they jump off and become ionised
When you say an electron is in its ground state what does that mean?
when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD
Is there any situation where an electron will have a charge not quantized ExOutside of an atom and if so what would happen if it had exess energy when it goes to an orbit?
The charge of an electron is always −1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulomb. If an electron is ejected from it's orbital the energy it absorbs is in the form of kinetic energy i.e. how fast it moves. If the electron goes back into an orbital it will only be allowed in an orbital that allows for it's energy. If an atom has an electron and that electron absorbs the energy from an incoming photon it may jump up to a higher orbital or it may be ejected. The ejected electron is the principle of the photo-electric effect.
What is the only subatomic particle that can jump from atom to atom?
An electron can jump from atom to atom.
What happens when electron jump from atom to atom?
It will absorb or emit energy, according to the difference in the corresponding energy levels.
What happens to an electron when energY is added to a atom?
Adding an electron to an atom can result in one of three things. It will depend on what condition the atom starts in. For an atom that has less electrons than protons (a positive ion), it will make that atom less positive. If the atom has just one less electron than the number of protons, the additional electron will neutralize that atom. In a neutral atom, the extra electron will make that atom a negative ion. In an atom with one or more electrons than protons, that atom will be a negative ion, and the additional electron will simply make it more negative. Also, when an electron is added to a neutral atom, energy is released

What do people see when electrons jump from atom to atom?
sparks
Can an electron jump from sixth shell to second shell?
yes. in the case of hydrogen atom jumping of an electron from 6th level to 2nd level cause balmer series
What happens when an electron in an atom absorbs energy?
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
Energy levels in an atom?
Energy level in an atom refers to the energy due to atoms bound in an electric field. When an electron jumps from higher energy to lower energy it releases a photon, which has a wavelength.
What happens when electrons absorbs energy?
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.

well The electrons on that shell have nowhere to go so they jump off and become ionised
Which electrons are shared in molecules?
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
What would happen if there were extra electrons in an atom?
when electron jump from lower energy level to high energy level
