What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
Emissin of light from an atom occurs when an electron what?
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
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.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
"Absorbed"
When an electron jumps from a higher to lower quantum what happens?
Energy excess is released. Lower levels have lower energy
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.
Emission of light from an atom occurs when the electron?
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of a photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
What electron transition represents a gain of energy?
All transitions in which electrons move from a lower to a higher level require a gain of energy. example: 2nd to 3rd shell
According to Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom how is hydrogen's emission spectrum produced?
it is produced when an electron from a higher energy orbit drops down to a lower level of energy orbit.
What change occurs with the atom when it is emitting light?
An electron has dropped from a higher energy state to a lower one. The photon emitted has precisely the same energy as was lost by the electron.
When an electron in an atom moves from a lower energy state to a higher state?
An electrons moves from lower energy to higher energy when it is excited.
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.
According to Bohr model of hydrogen atom how is hydrogen's emission spectrum produced?
It's produced when an electron from a higher energy orbit drops down to a lower level energy orbit
When electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of the proton released?
You may be confusing "proton" with "photon". A proton is a positively-charged particle contained within the nucleus of an atom. A photon is a discrete unit of energy normally expressed as light. Around the nucleus of the atom, there are some electrons in energy levels. When an atom absorbs energy, it absorbs a specific amount, or "quantum" of energy and the electron boosted to a higher energy level. When the electron drops to a lower energy level, it emits a photon in the form of light at a specific energy and frequency.
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
it loses energy
