What is givin off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower orbit?
Energy (in the form of photons) is given off when electrons in an atom fall to a lower energy level.
What is the difference between two electrons in different sub levels of the same energy level in the same atom?
They have more energy in higher levels. It is required until it falls to a lower orbit.
What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
Sketch an atom emitting light. Does the electron end up in a higher or lower orbit. Repeat for an atom absorbing light?
When an atom emits light an electron has fallen from a higher orbit to a lower orbit. The amount of energy the emitted photon has will equal the energy difference between the initial and final orbits.
Will the electrons in the higher energy level comes near the nucleus while they are revolving in their own orbit?
No. The electrons nearest the nucleus have the lowest energy. The highestenergy electron is one that's out on its own, not bound to any nucleus.
What charged electrons of an orbit?
Electrons jump to higher orbits when they receive photonic input. When they drop into a lower orbit they give up energy as photons. The answer is light.
What condition can an electron in a given orbit jump to another from the nucleus?
Electrons don't jump from the nucleus, because there are no electrons in the nucleus. They DO jump, or can jump from one orbit to another. If it jumps to a higher orbit, then energy must be added, and if it jumps, or falls to a lower orbit, energy is released.
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
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.

What is the difference between two electrons in different sub levels of the same energy level in the same atom?
They have more energy in higher levels. It is required until it falls to a lower orbit.
When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level the atom commonly?
The electron moving from a lower to a higher energy level equates to moving from a specific orbit 'r' to a specific orbit 'rr' that is farther from the nucleus.
What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When an atom absorbs a photon its energy is transferred to outer shell electrons. The result will be the transition of an electron to a higher energy state.
Does a atom absorb light when it moves from a lower orbit to higher orbit?
It does take energy to move a atom lower state to a higher state. This form of energy could be in the spectrum of light. This could also be in other forms of energy. ie heat thru gamma rays,

How do atoms give off electromagnetic waves?
Atoms give off (emit) electromagnetic waves by electrons dropping to lower orbit levels from higher levels of orbit.
What happens to the energy of the electrons in the orbits as the radius of each orbit increases?
What happens to the energy of the electrons in the orbits of each orbit increases
