WOULD AN ELECTRON HAVE TO ABSORB OR RELEASE NEW ENERGY TO FALL FROM THE THIRD ENERGY LEVEL TO THE SECOND ENERGY LEVEL?

It would release energy. It had to absorb it in order to get from 2 to 3. Law of conservation of energy says it must now release it to fall back.

Why is the first ionization energy of boron lower than beryllium?
The rise in ionisation energy is not regular. To explain this we must remember that the second shell of electrons is actually subdivided into 2s and 2p. The most easily removed electron in Boron is that in the 2p orbital, higher in energy than the 2s electrons in Beryllium. It therefore needs less energy for total removal than does the 2s electron of Boron. This outweighs the effect of the increased nuclear charge of Boron, which tends to make its outer electron harder to remove.
How many electron shells do the atoms of elements in the second period have?
two K and L
Is it true that protons in the nucleus attach themselves to another atom?
No. Not under normal conditions. It is true that protons within the nucleus attract each other due to the residual binding energy left over from the binding energy that holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, but that force does not extend beyond the nucleus before the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force, would override the residual binding energy. In order to bind protons from different nuclei together, more formally, different nuclei together, you need nuclear fusion, and that requires high temperature and high pressure, first to ionize the atom and strip away the electron shells, and second to bring the nuclei close enough together that the residual binding energy can overcome the electromagnetic force.
What does it mean of doing a split second taunt in Super Smash Bros Brawl?
It means release the button really quickly.
The watts in a light bulb named after James Watt?
The watt was named after James Watt. The term watt in electric appliances refers the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and therefore is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent energy per unit time. An example; when a light bulb with a power rating of 100W is turned on for one hour, the energy used is 100 watt hours (The watt second is a unit of energy, equal to the joule).
Would an electron have to absorb or release energy to jump from the second energy level to the third level?
Electrons are attracted to the nucleus of the atom of which they are a part; this is because of the electrostatic force between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus. Therefore it takes energy in order to pull an electron farther away from the nucleus and to enable it to remain at a greater distance. This is exactly the same phenomenon as raising a heavy object such as, let us say, a bowling ball, to a greater elevation. It takes energy to do it, since you have to overcome the force of gravity.
Which electron would release more energy one falling from the second shell or third shell?
More the gap, more the energySo the electron falling from Third shell will release more energy.
If an electron is in the second energy level in which type of orbitals could this electron be in?
If an electron is in the second principle energy level, that is, n = 2, then that electron could be in an s or p orbital.
Why does Be have a much larger second ionization energy than the first?
The energy to remove 1 electron is the first ionization energy. To remove a second electron requires more energy. This is because the electron being removed now has to overcome the +1 positive charge introduced after the 1st electron was removed.
When compared with the energy of an electron in th first shell of a carbon atom the energy of an electron in the second shell of a carbon atom is?
greater
What do we mean by the first second third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.
The first element with an electron in the second energy level?
Lithium
Which electron in oxygen have the higher energy those in the first energy level or those in the second?
The second level is associated with higher energy than the first is. Keep increasing the energy of an electron enough, and eventually it breaks free of the atom completely.
How do you create an electron affinity reactor?
To create an electron affinity reactor you will have to use the second ionization energy.
Which statement describes the relative energy of electrons in the shells of a calcium atom?
An electron in the third shell has more energy than the electron in the second shell.
What do we mean by the first second and third ionization energies for a particular atom?
First ionization energy is the energy required to remove the first outermost electron from an atom. The second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the next available electron, and is greater than the first IE. The third IE is that energy needed to remove the third electron, and is greater the the second IE.
What happens in photopigments when they absorb photon energy?
Photosystem's electron travel through the electron transport chain(etc) where ATP is produced and then back to the photosystem. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, Photosystem II electron then is absorbed by photosystem I, photosystem I electron used to form NADPH and photosystem II gets its electron from photolysis of water. For you unfortunate children using Novanet: They move through an electron transport chain to photosystem 1.
