What can you assume if an electron moves to a higher energy level?

When an electron is moved to a higher energy level,
after absorption, the quantum no longer exists as a separate entity -- its energy has been seamlessly integrated ...into the orbital energy of the electron. If the electon absorbs another quantum, that is likewise integrated seamlessly. if the electron drops down a level toward the nucleus, it emits some of its energy as a quantum, outside the electron, that quantum exists as a photon (electromagnetic radiation). inside an electron, there are no separate or independent quanta. in case of an annihilation, ALL the energy of the electron turns into one quantum (and all the energy of the positron into another quantum).
If i didn't do a good job of explaining this, please post in the DiscBrd AND send me a private message, and i will try to clarify.

When the electron emits lights does the electron move up to a higher energy level or down to a lower energy level?
In the Bohr model of the atom, an electron emits a photon when it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
What do you call an atom if you move an electron in an atom from a low energy level to a higher energy level within the atom?
no , it only emits energy if it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
What causes an electron in an atom o move to a higher energy level?
excitation
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 can happenn if an electron moves to a higher energy level?
the electron will gain energy
What happens when a electron moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.

In the Bohr model of the atom, an electron emits a photon when it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
What state is an electron in when is has moved from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?
excited
What do you call an atom if you move an electron in an atom from a low energy level to a higher energy level within the atom?
no , it only emits energy if it moves from a higher energy level to a lower 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.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
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.
