Best Answer

When an elctron is excited (has energy) it is extremely unstable, so it falls back to its previous energy level, and when it does this it releases energy, and this energy is viewed as wavelengths of light. So the color depends on the amount of energy the atom releases when it falls back to its lower energy level.

What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?

The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.


Why light is shining?

it is higly speed waves which knock out electron from gas atom in air or which provide energy to electron of atom due which electron jum to higher energy shell and continously this process occure and spark light are produce.


Does Electron Transport supply or store energy?

The purpose of the Krebs cycle is to produce ATP or create molecules that will create ATP in the electron transport chain (NADH and FADH2)


Why are the colors in world?

When electron falls from 7th orbit to 3rd orbit then it release energy which can be seen in the form of colour.
