The atom absorbs energy, and one or more electrons move to a higher electron shell
What else can I help you with?
What has a higher energy ground state or excited state?
ground
Why do elements go from ground state to excited state?
Elements go from the ground state to the excited state if some form of energy is supplied. Otherwise, they stay in the ground state.
Do atoms in the excited state have more electrons than in the ground state?
Yes, because an atom in an excited state will normally give off energy and go to a less-excited state or to its ground state. Some atoms have long-lived excited states and are called "metastable".
Is the electron configuration of sodium an excited state or ground state?
The electron configuration of sodium in its ground state is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1. This is not an excited state configuration, as the electrons are in their lowest energy levels available in the atom. Excited states occur when electrons are in higher energy levels than the ground state configuration.
What is HTE difference between an atom in the ground state and an atom in an excited state?
Atom in the ground state is stable but atom in excited state is not stable the main reason for this is their energies.Atoms in excited state has more energy so they undergo chemical reaction so they are not stable but atoms in ground state has less energy than the excited state so they dont undergo chemical reaction.
Is an excited state is less stable than a ground state?
Yes.
In which state does the electron possess more energy?
An electron possesses more energy in the excited state than the ground state.
What is the opposite of ground state?
Excited state is the opposite of ground state in the context of atoms and molecules. Ground state refers to the lowest energy state of an atom or molecule, while excited states have higher energy levels due to the absorption of energy.
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
Does a hydrogen atom expand or contract as it moves from its ground state to an excited state?
A hydrogen atom expands as it moves from its ground state to an excited state. This is because the electron in the excited state is farther away from the nucleus, increasing the average distance between the electron and proton in the atom.
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
An atom is in an excited state when it has absorbed energy, causing its electrons to move to higher energy levels. These excited electrons are unstable and eventually return to their ground state by emitting energy in the form of light or heat.
Is 2-8-7 an excited state?
No, 2-8-7 does not indicate an excited state. It typically represents the electron configuration of an element in its ground state, specifically for nitrogen. An excited state would involve the electrons being in higher energy levels than the ground state configuration.
