What is needed to excite electrons?
For example when the electron absorb energy.
Why electron jumps from ground state to exicted state?
Because they absorb energy.
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.
Can free electron absorb photon?
a free electron may absorb a photon only if its parity changes
How is it possible for an electron go from the 3rd to the 4th energy level?
It is possible if the electron absorbs energy, for example, from a photon.
Is an electron radiation?
Electrons are negative energy. When an electron jumps orbitals, it can either absorb or radiate energy in the form of photons.

Why electron jumps from ground state to exicted state?
Because they absorb energy.
Would an electron have to absorb or release energy to jump from the second energy level to the third level?
Electrons are attracted to the nucleus of the atom of which they are a part; this is because of the electrostatic force between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus. Therefore it takes energy in order to pull an electron farther away from the nucleus and to enable it to remain at a greater distance. This is exactly the same phenomenon as raising a heavy object such as, let us say, a bowling ball, to a greater elevation. It takes energy to do it, since you have to overcome the force of gravity.
What happens when electron jump from atom to atom?
It will absorb or emit energy, according to the difference in the corresponding energy levels.
Does an electron absorb energy and make a transition to a higher energy orbital when the solution it is in is being heated?
It can and when it does the electrons do transition into a higher energy orbit.
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.
Would have to happen in order for an electron in energy level 3 to move to energy level 4?
The atom would have to absorb energy.
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.
Can the electron in the ground state of hydrogen absorb a photon of energy 13.6eV and greater than 13.6eV?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
When the energy of sunlight moves to a chlorophyll molecule in a reaction center how does this impact an electron?
Electrons absorb the energy. Then it becomes exited
When electrons jump to a higher energy level they emit or absorb energy?
Electrons are normally in an energy level called the ground state. In the ground state electrons absorb heat energy and then get into the excited state where they release the energy and exert light energy. The light energy can be seen with a spectroscope with a unique bright line emission spectrum.
