Atoms release a particular color of light
They do, if excited.
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".
An excited atom is one in which the outer electrons are not in their lowest level.
yes
Any excited atomic nucleus can radiate energy, but we generally only see radioactive atoms emitting radiation.
excited state atoms
They do, if excited.
They form new chemical bondings, loss or gain electrons.
light emitted from excited atoms occurs only at specific wavelengths
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".
They cause the atoms to become "excited."

The heat energy of a substance is determined by how active its atoms and molecules are. A hot object is one whose atoms and molecules are excited and show rapid movement. A cooler object's molecules and atoms will be less excited and show less movement. When these guys are in the excited state, they take up a lot of space because they're moving around so fast. When the atoms and molecules settle down, or cool down, they take up less space...
