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.
Can you explain why an electron's energy increases when it absorbs a photon and also describe what happens to the photon in this process?
When an electron absorbs a photon, its energy increases because the photon transfers its energy to the electron. The photon ceases to exist as a discrete particle and its energy is absorbed by the electron, causing it to move to a higher energy level.
What happens when an electron moves from a high energy level to a lower one?
It absorbs light
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
When going up an energy level what happens?
When an electron moves up an energy level, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level and become excited. The electron will eventually return to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light.
What happens when an electron in an atom absorbs energy?
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
Does An electron moves from one orbit to another only when it absorbs or emits energy?
Yes, an electron moves from one orbit to another when it absorbs or emits energy. This process is known as electronic transitions. When an electron absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level, and when it emits energy, it moves to a lower energy level.
An electron absorbs a photon of light energy and becomes energized the electron shifts from?
lower to higher
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy it goes to what state?
This electron is in an excited unstable state.
What happens when an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state?
When an electron moves from a low energy state to a high energy state, it absorbs energy. This absorption of energy causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level or orbit further away from the nucleus. The electron is now in an excited state and can later release this energy in the form of light when it returns to a lower energy state.
What happens when electrons absorbs energy?
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
What happens when a electron moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
