Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level Which statement is true of electron X?
Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level. Electron X absorbs energy when it changes to a higher energy level. It takes energy to do that.
What would happen if there were extra electrons in an atom?
when electron jump from lower energy level to high energy level
What information does the first quantum number of an electron give?
The energy level the electron is in
When electrons jump to a higher energy level they emit or absorb energy?
Electrons are normally in an energy level called the ground state. In the ground state electrons absorb heat energy and then get into the excited state where they release the energy and exert light energy. The light energy can be seen with a spectroscope with a unique bright line emission spectrum.
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 must happen for an electron to move to a higher energy level?
Fission
Would have to happen in order for an electron in energy level 3 to move to energy level 4?
The atom would have to absorb energy.
What would happen if there were extra electrons in an atom?
when electron jump from lower energy level to high energy level

The energy of an electron varies depending upon which energy level that electron occupies.?
Yes, the energy of an electron does vary depending on which energy level it occupies.

What energy changes when a neutral atom gains an electron?
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
What has to happen before you can move to a new energy level in the electron cloud?
When an electron falls from a higher to lower energy level, it emits a photon. Atom will emit only light with a wavelength (color).
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.
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.
Principal energy level 1 of an atom contains an electron with the lowest energy why?
level one electron contain more energy
