There are several opportunities to excite electrons within an atom or a molecule.
The energies to excite a single electron in an atom start at roughly 10-19J, which is approximately the energy of red light.
Though, electrons can also be excited by any energies above roughly 10-25J (radar waves), dependent on the material.
This also includes thermal excitation. For example, any material that glows does emit light, which is caused by excited electrons that fall back into a non-excited state.
However, the usual source of energy used to excite electrons is electromagnetic radiation between 200 and 700 nm, which is ultraviolet and visible light. This is the predominant energy range that excites electrons in atoms and molecules without splitting the electrons apart of those.
Thus, the colour of materials is (amongst other things) a result of the electron excitation, caused by partial absorption of light.

When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time higher energy level. These electrons are said to be?
"Excited", or in an "excited state".
What makes an elements electrons in an excited state?
Electrons can be excited in an element by supplying energy to the molecule of the elements. Further eletrons get excited in chemical reactions
What is meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
Electrons are excited in photosystem 1 what do these electrons combine with in order to produce an energy-carrying molecule?
NADP+
Where do electrons get there energy in photosystem 2?
Excited electrons are transferred to an electron transport chain.
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 electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time higher energy level. These electrons are said to be?
"Excited", or in an "excited state".
The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?
Excited Electrons
When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time at a higher energy level these electrons are said to be?
These electrons are called "excited".
What particle gains energy gets excited?
Electrons
When sunlight excited electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?
the electrons gain a huge amount of energy
Electrons that have been excited by light energy absorbed by a chlorophyll molecule?
Some of the electrons become excited. means that they have comparatively more energy. the flow of energy takes place through these excited electrons. these are transferred form the reaction center chlorophyll to the primary electron acceptors.
What makes an elements electrons in an excited state?
Electrons can be excited in an element by supplying energy to the molecule of the elements. Further eletrons get excited in chemical reactions
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 high-energy molecule do excited electrons generate?
ATP
When excited electrons radiate energy the amount of energy given off is equal to?
Photons
What did Planck say about energy and electron?
He said that electrons can become excited and begin to hop energy levels; when this happens an electron is in the excited state.
