When electrons change energy levels within an atom, they either absorb energy to move to a higher energy level (excitation) or release energy to move to a lower energy level (emission). This results in the emission or absorption of light with specific wavelengths corresponding to the energy difference between the levels.
It gains energy in a quantized amount
Each electron orbit has a definite amount of energy, and the farther away the electron is from the nucleus, the greater is the energy level. The first level can hold two electrons, the second can hold up to eight, the third can hold up to eight as well, etc... ^.^
No, the highest energy levels are filled last in an atom based on the Pauli exclusion principle and Aufbau principle. Electrons fill lower energy levels first before moving to higher energy levels.
Mercury has 80 electrons in total, with each electron distributed across its various energy levels or electron shells. The electron configuration of mercury is 2-8-18-32-18-2, representing the distribution of electrons across its electron shells.

is the electron cloud
The hydrogen atom has only one electron.
Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.
Its called the electron shell. Electrons will always fill up low orbitals first in the shell, an then as more energy is added to the atom, the electrons move up an orbit, then release the energy in some form, and they move back down to the lowest energy orbit.
The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.
Quantized energy levels refer to the specific energy values that a system can possess in discrete steps, rather than continuously. This concept is often seen in quantum mechanics, where particles can only exist at specific energy levels defined by specific quantum numbers. These quantized energy levels play a crucial role in determining the behavior and properties of atoms and molecules.
The electrons of an atom are found in the electron cloud, an area of space surrounding the atom.The electrons circle around the atom in layers, called energy levels. The first level holds two electrons, the next holds eight, and the third level holds eighteen electrons. The levels continue to add up as more electrons are gained. The way to figure out how many electrons a level can hold is to multiply the level number by itself and multiply that answer by two. (e=L*L*2) The number of levels can continue rising.The electron cloud is very large; if an atom were a penny, the electron cloud would be the size of a college courtyard!
the element sodium has 1,000,000 million energy levels.
When electrons change energy levels within an atom, they either absorb energy to move to a higher energy level (excitation) or release energy to move to a lower energy level (emission). This results in the emission or absorption of light with specific wavelengths corresponding to the energy difference between the levels.
Electron energy levels are specific regions around an atomic nucleus where electrons are likely to be found. The number of electrons that can fit into each energy level is determined by the formula 2n^2, where n denotes the principal quantum number of the energy level. For example, the first energy level (n=1) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, the second energy level (n=2) can hold up to 8 electrons, the third energy level (n=3) can hold up to 18 electrons, and so on.
The energy level the electron is in
