This electron is in an excited unstable state.
What else can I help you with?
When does an electron go from the ground state to an excited state?
When the atom absorbs energy of the proper frequency/energy.
Why electron jumps from ground state to exicted state?
An electron jumps from the ground state to an excited state when it absorbs energy, typically in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to move to a higher energy level, creating an excited state. When the electron later falls back to the ground state, it releases the absorbed energy in the form of a photon.
An atom absorbs energy as its electron?
An atom absorbs energy as its electron moves to a higher energy level, or an excited state. This process is known as excitation, and the absorbed energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states.
What must an electron do to move from ground state to an excited state?
To move an electron from the ground state to an excited state, it requires an input of energy. It should be equal to the energy difference between the two levels. This energy comes from collision with other molecules and atoms.
When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
When a hydrogen electron absorbs radiation, it moves to an excited state. The electron jumps to a higher energy level, causing the hydrogen atom to change its ground state to an excited state.
What is the lowest possible energy of an electron called?
The lowest possible energy of an electron is called the ground state energy.
When a molecule absorbs a photon one of the electron is raised in what state?
When a molecule absorbs a photon, an electron is raised from its ground state to an excited state. This leads to an increase in the electron's energy level, causing the molecule to become temporarily unstable before returning back to its ground state through various relaxation processes.
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?
When an electron is excited, it absorbs a specific amount of energy to move to a higher energy state. When it returns to its ground state, it releases this absorbed energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy released is equal to the energy absorbed during excitation, following the principle of conservation of energy.
What is the amount of energy released by an electron as it returned to ground state?
The energy released by an electron as it returns to the ground state is equal to the difference in energy between its initial excited state and the ground state. This energy is typically released in the form of a photon with a specific wavelength determined by the energy difference.
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
What describes how an atom in the ground state becomes excited?
The atom absorbs energy, and one or more electrons move to a higher electron shell
When does an electron reach a state of zero energy?
An electron reaches a state of zero energy when it is at rest or in its ground state.
