When an atom is excited the electrons go up in energy level and then soon return to ground state emitting a photonif energy can not be related were physically does this photon come from?
The exciting of an electron takes in energy. The fall back to the ground state releases that energy as a photon. The photon is created by the return to the ground state.
What happens when an electron return to its ground state?
Energy must be emitted for an electron to return to the ground state. This energy typically occurs in the form of a photon--a particle/wavelet of light. Flourescent bulbs, for example, conduct a current through a gas knocking electrons into higher, more exicted orbits. As the electrons decay into lower orbits, light is emitted, producing the flourescent glow.
Is excited state of electron have valence electrons?
Normally, yes. 'Ground state' refers to electrons that are unexcited (meaning not pushed to a higher energy level) by heat or electricity. So basically, yes, valence electrons are always at ground state. I mean, unless you're sending an electrical current through the substance.
What happens to electrons in the thylakoid membrane?
they return to their original energy levels.
When the electrons of an excited atom return to a lower energy state the energy emitted can result in the production of what?
A photon of light.
When electrons lose energy and return to their initial state?
They give of energy in the form of light.
When electrons lose energy and return to their initial state what is given off?
Energy -- usually in the form of light (or more generally, electromagnetic radiation).

What form of energy emission accompanies the return of an excited electron to its ground state?
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of excited electrons to the ground state?
What causes the emission of radiant energy that produces characteristics spectral lines?
When the electrons absorb energy from a source, such as heat, they move to an excited state (farther from the atoms nucleus). They then release the energy in the form of light which produces the observed spectral lines of color. Once the energy is released, the electrons move back to a lower energy level (ground state).
The glowing neon light is caused by electrons emitting energy as they?
They return to their ground state from an excited state induced by the electric field between the two ends of the light.
What is given off when electrons return to their ground state?
energy is given out. this is emitted in the form light ie each atom has its own characteristic emission spectra.
Is excited state of electron have valence electrons?
Normally, yes. 'Ground state' refers to electrons that are unexcited (meaning not pushed to a higher energy level) by heat or electricity. So basically, yes, valence electrons are always at ground state. I mean, unless you're sending an electrical current through the substance.
What happens to electrons in the thylakoid membrane?
they return to their original energy levels.
Why is it necessary to heat the solution before it will give off a color?
heating a solution is adding energy to the atoms, specifically the electrons. the electrons on the lowest energy level (n=1) absorb this energy and move up to a higher energy level. However, electrons dont like to stay on these high energy levels so they release the energy they absorbed (emitting a specific amount of energy in the form of a wavelength and a frequency =light) and return to the ground state/lowest energy level.
What happens when electrons return to ground state?
The electron falling one or more energy shells will produce a photon of energy equal to the difference in energy actually two or more in different directions all adding to the energy
