What is the lowest energy state of an unbonded atom called?
Excited State -_-
When an electron gets excited is energy released or absorbed?
To get excited, it must absorb energy. To get back to its ground state, it releases energy.
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
That is known as an excited state.
Ground state vs excited state?
A ground state is an outer orbital electron of an element that is at its lowest possible energy level. The electron in an excited state has a higher energy level than a ground state electron. The average distance from the nucleus is greater in the excited state than in the ground state.
What is the state when all electrons of an atom are in the lowest possible energy levels?
whenever they are in there most stable state , then they are at their lowest energy level. as u provide energy , they get excited and then upgrade to further energy level . and due to loss of energy , they regain earlier positions.
Whenever an excited hydrogen atom falls back from an excited state to its ground state it?
The answer is (B) Emits a Photon of Radiation.
When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
an atom
Does a hydrogen atom expand or contract as it moves from its ground state to an excited state?
i think it contracts because in excited state, electron have more energy and less pull.
What happens when an electron returns to its ground state from it's excited state?
A photon will be released!
Can hydrogen emit an X-ray?
Yes, a hydrogen nucleus can emit an X-ray if it is excited sufficiently. All excited atomic nuclei can emit electromagnetic radiation. That's how they get coupled to their ground state. It is not unusual for highly energetic X-rays to be radiated from a nucleus that has become energized well above its ground state.
What must happen for an atom to go from an excited state to a ground state so color is seen?
An excited electron spontaneously drops back to its ground state, emitting a photon of light as it does so. <><><><><> The same thing happens in the nucleus. An excited nucleus drops down to a lower energy level, releasing a photon.
Why don't they see hydrogen Balmer lines in the spectra of stars with temperatures of 3200 K?
These stars are so cool that nearly all of the hydrogen atoms are in the ground state. The visible-light Balmer absorption lines of hydrogen are produced by electrons moving from the 1st excited state to a higher orbit. However in M class stars most of the hydrogen is in the ground state, and absorption from the the ground state occurs at ultraviolet wavelengths.
What has a higher energy ground state or excited state?
ground
Why do elements go from ground state to excited state?
Elements go from the ground state to the excited state if some form of energy is supplied. Otherwise, they stay in the ground state.
Is the electron configuration of sodium an excited state or ground state?
ground state
What is the ground level of hydrogen?
The ground state electron configuration of hydrogen is 1s1.
What happens when an electron moves from the excited state to the ground state?
when an electron moves from excited state to ground state it emits photons of wavelength equal to the difference between the two energy levels. Consider a hydrogen atom. If the electron is at the second energy level in the atom (the energy of this level is -3.4 eV )it can stay there for about only 10^-8 s and then after that it just to the level below .If it jumps from second to ground state (energy of ground state is -13.6 eV) it emits aphoton of energy = 13.6-3.4 =10.2 eV. .............................Gho$t
