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".


How does the electrons become excited?

Electrons become excited when they absorb energy, such as from heat, light, or electricity. This extra energy causes the electrons to move to a higher energy level away from the nucleus of an atom, creating an excited state.


The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?

Excited 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.


Electrons that are not in the highest occupied energy level are called?

inner-shell electrons


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".


State in which electrons have jumped to a higher energy level?

state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level


What causes the electrons to become excited and move into the electron transport chain?

Electrons become excited in the electron transport chain due to the energy input from electron carrier molecules like NADH and FADH2. These electron carriers donate the electrons to the proteins in the chain, creating a flow of electrons that drives the production of ATP.


How are electrons become excited?

Electrons become excited when they absorb energy, such as through exposure to light or heat. This additional energy causes the electrons to move to a higher energy level, creating an excited state. The electrons will eventually release this energy by returning to their original, lower energy state, emitting light or heat in the process.
