excitation
When an electron moves up an energy level, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level and become excited. The electron will eventually return to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light.
When you move an electron in an atom from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it is called an electron excitation. This process requires the electron to absorb energy to move to a higher energy state.
An electron jumps to a new energy level when it absorbs or emits a specific amount of energy in the form of a photon. This energy change causes the electron to move to a higher or lower energy level based on the difference between the initial and final energy states.
the electron will gain energy
The electron gains energy.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy. This energy is typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation or photons.
When an electron moves from a lower to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy and jumps to a higher orbit. This process is known as excitation. The electron can then release this absorbed energy as light when it moves back 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.
An electron in an atom can lose energy to transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light. This process is known as emission.
An electron changes energy levels when it absorbs or emits energy, typically in the form of a photon. When an electron absorbs a photon with energy equal to the difference between its current energy level and a higher one, it jumps to that higher level. Conversely, when it transitions to a lower energy level, it emits a photon with energy corresponding to the difference in energy between the two levels. These processes are governed by the principles of quantum mechanics.
