Whenever the electron falls from an excited state to a lower level, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Electromagnetic radiation can be light of different wavelengths and therefore different colors

How does an excited atom get to a ground state?
For example, by the absorption of a photon.
Energy can be released from a pigment with an excited electron by what method?
by emiting photons
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.
When a molecule absorbs a photon one of the electron is raised in what state?
This electron is in an excited unstable state.
What is the amount of energy released by an electron as it returned to ground state?
An excited electron releases a photon as it returns to ground state.
What happens to molecules if they receive electromagnetic radiation?
They are excited and their energy increases and possibly ejects an electron and change their size and shape..They will often absorb part of the radiation; in that case, their energy will increase.
How does an excited atom get to a ground state?
For example, by the absorption of a photon.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom is it a wave or a particle?
a particle traveling in wave form.
What theory of light best explains the emission of electromagnetic radiation of an excited atom?
Quantum Mechanics
Energy can be released from a pigment with an excited electron by what method?
by emiting photons
What does the change of an atom from an excited state to the ground state always require?
An atom emits a photon (particle of light) when transitioning from a ground state to its excited state. To obey conservation of energy, the energy gained by the atom when an electron moves to a lower energy level is equal to the energy it loses in emitting the photon. (The energy of a photon is E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon.) Conversely, when an atom absorbs a photon (as is the case in absorption spectra), the electron absorbing the photon moves to a higher energy level.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
What makes things fluorescent?
Fluorescence is produced when an electron excited by an e.m. radiation returns to the ground state and emit a photon.
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of an excited electron to its ground state?
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of excited electrons to the ground state?
When an electron gets excited is energy released or absorbed?
To get excited, it must absorb energy. To get back to its ground state, it releases energy.
Excited mercury atoms emit light strongly at a wave of 436 nm What is the frequency of radiation What is the energy of this radiation Good illustration of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Ultraviolet. Most of the spectrum is invisible to people.
What happens when an electron returns to its ground state from it's excited state?
A photon will be released!
