When a electron returns to its stable or ground state is emits?
When an electron returns to its ground state it emits energy in the form of light.
How energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?
The energy may be emitted all at once or in smaller steps
What can be said of the amount of energy that an electron absorbs when it is excited compared to the amount of energy that it releases when it returns to ground state?
The amount of energy that is absorbed is the same as the amount of energy that is released.
Which of the following correctly explains how energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". In general, however, if it is the nucleus that returns to ground state, then gamma ray emission is the mechanism. It it is the electron cloud the returns to ground state, then x-ray emission is the mechanism. The end result is the same - a photon is emitted with a certain energy - only the mechanism differs.
When a ball bounces back to the ground because of gravity right?
It returns to the ground because of the effect of gravity.
When an atom returns to the ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
it is released (emitted) as part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
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.
When a electron returns to its stable or ground state is emits?
When an electron returns to its ground state it emits energy in the form of light.
How energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?

What happens when an electron returns to its ground state from it's excited state?
A photon will be released!
What can be said of the amount of energy that an electron absorbs when it is excited compared to the amount of energy that it releases when it returns to ground state?
The amount of energy that is absorbed is the same as the amount of energy that is released.

What happens to solar energy as it enters earths atmosphere?
it gets absorbed by the ground
What is energy of activation?
This is the energy needed to begin a chemical reaction.
What happens to the amount of gravitational potential energy of a substance when it is raised from the ground?
popiseed muffins rock!
What happens to energy that the ground absorbs in the form of visible sunlight?
It is returned upward in the form of infrared light.
What happens when a hydrogen atom changes from the excited state to the ground state?
It gives off a photon of energy.
