When an atom is excited the electrons go up in energy level and then soon return to ground state emitting a photonif energy can not be related were physically does this photon come from?

The exciting of an electron takes in energy. The fall back to the ground state releases that energy as a photon. The photon is created by the return to the ground state.

How does an excited atom go back to it's ground state?
It must omit a photon of light to lower the excited electron to a lower state. It may require multiple emissions to lower one electron multiple steps or multiple emissions to lower multiple excited electrons. (Incidentally this is why we see a blue sky - excited O2 molecules are emitting blue photons to get back to a ground state)
What causes the electrons to become excited and move into the electron transport chain?
In photosynthesis, the electrons from the chlorophyll are excited by the sunlight
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
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 is meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
The glowing neon light is caused by electrons emitting energy as they?
They return to their ground state from an excited state induced by the electric field between the two ends of the light.
How does an excited atom get to a ground state?
For example, by the absorption of a photon.
What is photo emissivity?
Emissivity of a surface is defined as its effectiveness in emitting thermal radiation. The term photo emissivity is likely used to narrow the focus to emitting visible light.
An excited atom can lose energy by?
*Capturing an orbiting electron *Emitting a positron So C both of the above

What do electrons need to jump levels?
The correct answer is "energy".
The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?
Excited Electrons
When sunlight excited electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?
the electrons gain a huge amount of energy
What does the light do to the electrons found in chloroplasts?
the electrons found in the chloroplast becomes excited.
