An electron may change to an excited state, and an electron may move to a higher orbit.
What else can I help you with?
When an atom returns to the ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
it is released (emitted) as part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
When an atom returns to its ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
it is released (emitted) as part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What can be removed from an atom if ionization energy is supplied?
An electron can be removed from an atom if ionization energy is supplied. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom, resulting in the formation of a positively charged ion.
When an atom in the excited state returns to its ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
When an atom in an excited state returns to its ground state, it releases the excess energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, typically as a photon. The energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the excited state and the ground state. This process is fundamental to phenomena such as fluorescence and the emission spectra of elements.
Do atom get rid of their excess energy by giving off radioactive decay?
Yes, that's more or less what happens in the case of radioactive decay.
What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?
The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.
When an atom in an excited state returns to it's ground state what happens to the excess energy or the atom?
When an atom in an excited state returns to its ground state, it releases the excess energy it gained during excitation, typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as photons. This process is known as spontaneous emission. The energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the excited state and the ground state. If the transition occurs in a controlled manner, such as in lasers, the emitted photons can be coherent and in phase with each other.
What happens when there are too many electrons?
When there are too many electrons, an object can become negatively charged. This excess of electrons can cause repulsion between objects with the same charge, or attract objects with a positive charge. In extreme cases, such as lightning, the excess electrons can result in the discharge of electrical energy.
What happens to the energy to a neutral atom when an electron is added?
the atom becomes negatively charged
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive ion?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
What happens when an atom absorbs ultraviolet energy and an electron is involved?
When an atom absorbs ultraviolet energy and an electron is involved, the electron can move to a higher energy level or be ejected from the atom, leading to the atom becoming ionized or excited.
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
