What parts of the ladder correspond th the energy levels of the atom?
Like a ladder, the electrons can be on discrete energy levels. Just like you can't be stepping halfway between the rungs, the electrons can't exist in between the energy levels.
What is the maximum number of p electrons that can exist in any one principle energy level?
6 p-shell electrons.
Which statement is not true about Bohr's model of the atom- A the nucleus can be compared to the sun B electrons orbit the nucleus C an electron's path is not known exactly D electrons exist in?
D.) Electrons exist in energy levels
What is the maximum number of p electrons that can exist in any one principal energy level?
3
What are true about Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom?
Electrons can exist only in certain allowed discrete energy states/ Photon absorption and emission are the result of transitions between energy states/ Electrons with more energy have orbits further from the nucleus
When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time at a higher energy level these electrons are said to be?
These electrons are called "excited".
Electrons exist only at fixed levels of potential energy However if an atom absorbs sufficient energy a possible result is that?
An electron may move to an electron shell farther out from the nucleus.
Do electrons exist in between energy levels?
No
What is the energy band in which free electrons exist?
1
When an atom gains or loses energy what jumps between energy levels?
When an atom gains or loses energy, electrons are the subatomic particles that jump between energy levels. Electrons exist in distinct energy levels or shells around the atomic nucleus. These energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy specific orbits. When an atom absorbs energy, typically in the form of light or heat, electrons can move to a higher energy level (excited state). Conversely, when an electron loses energy, it returns to a lower energy level (ground state) by emitting energy, often in the form of light. This process is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics and is described by the Bohr model for simple atoms and the more accurate quantum mechanical model for complex atoms. In the quantum mechanical model, electrons are described by wave functions, and their behavior is probabilistic, reflecting the uncertainty principle.
Electrons that exist in an atoms highest occupied energy level are known as?
valence electrons
Light is emitted as an electron transitions from a higher energy orbital to a lower energy orbital How long does it take for the actual transition to take place?
It takes no time as electrons can not exist in an inbetween state of charge

Why calcium turns to red in the flame test?
Because, due to the absorption of heat energy by the calcium atom in the flame. The electrons in the atom get promoted to a higher energy level, and exist in an unstable excited state. As they are unstable and prefer to be at their normal ground state, the extra energy that the electrons absorbed to be promoted in the first place is emitted in the form of a photon, light. The light emitted from the electrons of the calcium atoms will be at a specific wavelength, which is the red light you see emitted from the flame.
