What evidence do scientists have that electron can move from one energy level to another?

It is a very simple observation to tell that an electron can drop from one energy level to another. Electrons always want to be at the lowest energy, but to get to allowed energy level they need to lose energy. Electrons release energy in the form of photons of the same amount of energy as the energy level change. We can observe the light released when we put energy into a system and match the energy of the light to steps an electron takes down the energy level.

What is another name for a electron energy level?
enery state.
The size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's what?
It is mostly related to the energy of the electron.
What do you call the energy involved when an atom loses an electron?
The amount of energy required to remove an electron form an at is the ionization energy.
An electron moves from one orbital to another only when it absorbs or emits energy?
That's correct.
The rest mass energy of an electron positron pair is?
Twice the mass of the electron, since the positron has the same mass of the electron. Or the equivalent, in energy units.An electron has a mass or energy of 511 keV.
. What can scientists measure to provide evidence that electrons can move from one energy level to another?
the energy absorbed or released by atoms

The amount of energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another is an?
The amount of energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another is called a quantum.
What is another name for electron shells?
energy levels
When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is it taken from the environment?
No, the energy released by electron might be taken by enviornment. Electron remains in the infuence of corresponding nuclei, in another energy level.
What Another name for electron?
I don't know the answer to that, SORRY!
What is another name for a electron energy level?
enery state.
Why are scientists concerned about conserving energy?
scientists are concerned about conserving energy because one day our non renewable energy might get extinct and they need to think of another energy that might work.
How is electron affinity from electronegative?
Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.
Energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another?
quantum mechanics
How is electron affinity different from electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the measure of pull one atom has on another. Electron affinity is the amount of energy that is released when a neutral atom gains an electron.
