How do energy differences between higher energy levels of an atom compare to lower energy levels?
They are smaller in magnitude than those between lower energy levels.
How do the energy differences between higher energy levels of an atom compare with the energy differences between the lower energy levels of an atom?
They are smaller in magnitude than those between lower energy levels.
Do higher energy levels have higher orbitals than lower energy levels?
Energy levels are formed into sublevels which contain specific numbers of orbitals, each of which can contain two electrons with opposite spins. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, the d sublevel has 5 orbitals, and the f sublevel has 7 orbitals.
Is it true that energy is used to force electrons to move to higher energy levels?
yes
What 3 factors account for decreasing biomass at higher trophic levels?
the flow of energy: primary production higher than trophic levels.
When an atom has one or more electrons in higher energy levels?
An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.
Is the disitance of an electron all the same in one atom?
No. Lower energy levels and their electrons are closer to the nucleus than higher energy levels and their electrons.
Why is so much energy lost and where does it go in tropic levels?
In higher tropic levels, energy is lost because of the higher area of living. Metabolic activity is something else that plays a big part in the loss of energy at the tropic level.
Does a higher value of n mean a higher or lower energy?
The pricipal energy levels (of an atom) increase as -1/n2 (they get less negative).
Must Electrons must fill the higher energy levels before they fill the lower energy levels?
No, according to Hund's rule the electrons fill the lowest orbital first and foremost and then go on to fill higher orbitals.
If you heat a gas so that collisions are continually bumping electrons to higher energy levels when the electrons fall back to lower energy levels what does the gas produce?
energy an emission line spectrum
Does the glowing of a neon light caused by an electron emitting energy as it is moving from lower to higher energy levels?
No, other way around. The energy difference between the higher level and the lower, appears as photon energy.
