What happens when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level?
Its energy level increases, it becomes more excited, and it
moves more quickly. As an electron moves from a higher energy level
to a lower energy level, energy is released and a specific color of
light is emitted for each element.

What is happening within the hydrogen atom to create emission lines?
The electron in the atom becomes excited as something adds
energy to it, moving it to a higher energy level. When the electron
moves back to the normal energy level, called a ground state, it
emits light of a given frequency.

What meant by ground state and excited state?
A ground state is an outer orbital electron of an element that
is at its lowest possible energy level. The electron in an excited
state has a higher energy level than a ground state electron. The
average distance from the nucleus is greater in the excited state
than in the ground state.

Which electron configuration represents atom in the excited state?
Excited electrons are on higher levels of the electron clouds.
It takes more energy to get them to the higher level, and energy is
lost when they fall. When that energy is lost, a an x-ray photon is
emitted.

What is the relationship between the energy differences of orbits in an atom and the light emitted by the atom?
as the electron gets excited to the excited level by gaining
certain amount of energy which is equal to the difference in the
energies of its initial and final energy states. After a certain
period of time the electron jumps back tom lower level by emitting
same amount of energy as the difference between the energy of the
upper level (the level electron jumped off) and that of lower
level. So the energy differences of orbits in an atom and the...

What happened if the electron is excited?
As you may know, there are different 'levels' in which an
electron might be outside the nucleus of an atom. If an electron
receives a photon of a certain wavelength it will absorb the energy
and jump onto the next level or so. However, electrons do not like
to be excited therefore it releases the energy again and jumps down
to a lower level.

What does it mean when an electron is in an excited state?
It means that the electron has absorbed energy and moved into a
higher energy level. This is temporary, and as the electron moves
back to its ground state, it gives off the same amount of energy
that it had absorbed in the form of a photon of light.

What must occur to excite and electron from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?
One electron will absorb one quantum of energy. When this
happens, it will move out one energy level from its ground state to
the excited state. After a very short time, the one electron will
move back to the ground state, and in doing so, will emit one
photon of energy (light).
