if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
It increases
'excitation' the electron is excited.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
Physically put, the electron has more energy the farther ( higher ) it is from the nucleus. Simple potential energy. PE = mgh
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
subtract two from the period number
The main principal quantum number (n) depends on the average relative distance of an electron from the nucleus. The farther away from the nucleus, the greater value for n and the greater the energy.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus of an atom, the more energy it has.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
An electron in a 2s orbital is on average closer to the nucleus.
Physically put, the electron has more energy the farther ( higher ) it is from the nucleus. Simple potential energy. PE = mgh
The farther an electron is from the nucleus, the greater its energy.
An electron may move to an electron shell farther out from the nucleus.
yes, if by larger you mean size/volume.
subtract two from the period number
nucleus is in the middle and the electron cloud is around it
The main principal quantum number (n) depends on the average relative distance of an electron from the nucleus. The farther away from the nucleus, the greater value for n and the greater the energy.
