Is there any other energy state aside from the lowest energy state for an electron?
Yes, while nature will always try to place electrons in their lowest energy configuration, electrons can temporarily occupy higher energy states. When they fall back to the lowest energy state, the difference in energy is released as light - "a photon". Different colors of light reflect differing energy state jumps made by electrons.
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.
An atom with it's electrons in the lowest possible energy level is said to be?
in most stable state.
What causes electrons to jump to a higher energy level?
An electron in an excited state, a higher energy orbital, drops back to a lower energy level usulayy the lowest possible (the ground state). The energy difference beween the two energy levels is emitted as light (photon) of a specific frequency which is given by the equation E/h = v (v= frequency, E = energy, h = planks constant)
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
A photon is emitted when an electron falls from a higher to lower orbital. A photon is an elementary particles, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
An atom in its lowest possible energy state is in what state?
Ground state

Matter tends to exist in its what energy state?
Matter tends to exist in its energy ground state. Both the nucleus and the electron cloud have energy states, representing different levels of excitation. The tendency is to return to ground or lowest state, and when that happens, a photon is emitted with charge representing the energy transition. When the photon comes from the nucleus, it is a gamma ray; when the photon comes from the electron cloud, it is an x-ray.
Which state are electrons at their lowest possible energy level?
poopers
What state are electrons at their lowest possible energy level?
liquid
Which state in which all the electrons are at their lowest possible energy level?
ground state
What is the lowest possible energy of an electron called?
Ground state.
Which energy position do electrons generally want to be in?
Their lowest possible energy state, called the "ground state".
What is the state when all electrons of an atom are in the lowest possible energy levels?
whenever they are in there most stable state , then they are at their lowest energy level. as u provide energy , they get excited and then upgrade to further energy level . and due to loss of energy , they regain earlier positions.
When all electrons in an atom are in orbitals with the lowest possible energy the atom is in its what state is it in?
ground state
The lowest possible energy position for an electron is known as the ground state?
yes
What does the change of an atom from an excited state to the ground state always require?
An atom emits a photon (particle of light) when transitioning from a ground state to its excited state. To obey conservation of energy, the energy gained by the atom when an electron moves to a lower energy level is equal to the energy it loses in emitting the photon. (The energy of a photon is E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon.) Conversely, when an atom absorbs a photon (as is the case in absorption spectra), the electron absorbing the photon moves to a higher energy level.
