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.
Which electrons orbiting the nucleus will have the lowest energy?
The one closest to the nucleus.
The electrons to enter orbitals of lowest energy first?
Aufbau principle
Describe where the electrons are in an atom where they have the lowest energy and where they have the highest energy.?
electrons are outside the nucleus of an atom they have the highest energy very near to the nucleus and as they are getting far the energy is decreasing
When do all electrons in an atom have the lowest possible energies?
This is called the "ground state", all electrons occupy the orbitals of lowest energy available to them.
Can electrons lose energy at ground state explain?
No. At ground state, the electrons are at their lowest energy.
How many electrons are in the second lowest energy level?
there are eight electrons.

Which state are electrons at their lowest possible energy level?
poopers
Do electrons fill the lowest energy level first?
obviously
What state are electrons at their lowest possible energy level?
liquid
What the is energy levels in an atom?
1. Atoms do not have energy levels unlike particles like electrons etc.2. The lowest energy for atoms will be 0 at absolute zero temp of 0 deg Kelvin.3. For electrons in all atoms lowest energy is that of 2 electrons nearest to the nucleus.
What is the term for an atom whose electrons have the lowest possible energies?
The term for an atom whose electrons have the lowest possible energies is "ground state." In this state, electrons are in their lowest energy levels or orbitals, closest to the nucleus. Excited states refer to when electrons are in higher energy levels, further away from the nucleus.
ON what energy level are electrons found?
Generally, the lowest open one.
Which electrons orbiting the nucleus will have the lowest energy?
The one closest to the nucleus.
