How do you excite electrons?
Raise its energy level by light absorption, making it collide with another atom or electron, or heating it up.
How many electrons does each main energy level hold?
The first shell can hold up to two electrons, second up to eight electrons, third up to 18 electrons and the subsequent shells can have up to 32 electrons in each.
What causes an element to be reactive?
In the short form: elements are striving to completely fill valence shells of electrons to reach a quantumly stable energy state. They react to take electrons away from elements willing to give up electrons or share outer shell electrons with elements they aren't strong enough to steal from.
How many electrons can each sublevel of the fourth energy level hold?
The fourth energy level can hold up to thirty-two (32) electrons.
When electrons are excited out of their orbitals do they release light energy?
It takes energy to get those electrons up out of their orbitals. It is when they "fall back" and return to their orbitals that they release energy. The energy released will be electromagnetic energy, and if the energy is high enough (but not too high), it will appear as visible light. This is what is happening in a fluorescent tube when it is turned on and emitting light.
Do elements typically give up electrons because they have a low ionization energy?
no
What charged electrons of an orbit?
Electrons jump to higher orbits when they receive photonic input. When they drop into a lower orbit they give up energy as photons. The answer is light.
What elements that's typically gives up electrons?
The elements that typically give up electrons are the ones which have the lowest ionization energy. The valence electron which holds on loosely will be the one to be given out easily.
When will an atom give up an electron?
When less than half of the outer energy level is filled!
Why does valence electron give up outermost energy easily?
The force of attraction between the atom's nucleus and its valence electrons are the least. Hence valence electrons are lost easily.
What kinds objects give up electrons easily?
Carpets and balloons both give up electrons easily.
Do metals take electrons or give electrons to the atoms they bond with?
Metals give up electrons while non-metals gain electrons
Does an atom with 2 electrons in its second shell gain or give up electrons?
They give up electrons because it is easier for them to become chemically stable that way.
How many electrons does carbon have to give up to achieve a noble gas configuration?
4 but it will need energy, so carbon gain 4 electrons to achieve a noble gas configuration.
How many electrons will each energy level hold?
up to 32 electrons
Can there be more than 20 electrons in the third energy level?
no, up to 18 electrons only in the 3rd energy level.
An atoms second energy level can hold up to how many electrons?
Maximum of 8 electrons in second energy level.
