Emissin of light from an atom occurs when an electron what?
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
What causes photons to be emitted from excited atoms?
The energy difference, between two energy levels, is emitted as a photon, when the electron "falls down" to a lower energy level.
Why does an electron produce colors when exerting energy?
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 is meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
What happened to the energyof an electron as it goes farther from the nucleus?
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?
This electron is called excited.
Does an excited electron move up or down an energy level?
The excited electron move up.

What state is an electron in when is has moved from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?
excited
What types of electromagnetic radiation can be released when an electron falls from an excited state to a ground state?
Whenever the electron falls from an excited state to a lower level, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Electromagnetic radiation can be light of different wavelengths and therefore different colors

What do you call an atom if you move an electron in an atom from a low energy level to a higher energy level within the atom?
no , it only emits energy if it moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
When excited electrons return to lower energy levels what is released?
Energy is emitted when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
What kind of spectrum is produced when the electron jumps form a high energy state to a lower energy state?
When an electron moves to a lower energy level, the difference in energy appears in the form of a photon, which the electron emits.
