What does it mean when the electrons are excited?
They are in a higher energy orbital than the ground state.
State in which electrons have jumped to a higher energy level?
state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level
When an electron falls back to its ground state how much energy is released?
It releases the same amount of energy that it absorbed when it was excited to a higher energy 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.
What state is an atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level?
An atom in which an electron has moved up to a higher level is in an excited state. The lowest state of the atom is called the ground state.Ê
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.
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.
What is difference between a ground state electrons configuration and an excited state configuration?
In the ground state all the (only one for Hydrogen)) electrons is in the lowest stable orbit. If the electron gains energy (usually from a photon) it will orbit in a higher energy state (called excited).
What is the lowest energy state of an unbonded atom called?
Excited State -_-
What is meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
What is the difference between the ground state of an atom and excited state of an atom?
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of the atom.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
