An exited atom radiate through the process to gain stability. When the ratio or protons to neutrons is less or higher than that corresponding to the stability ratio the nucleus radiate either:
- beta (-) radiation to reduce the number of neutrons, or
- beta (+) radiation or electron capture to reduce the number of protons
- gamma radiation to bring the nucleus to ground state energy level.
Also an excited atom emits radiation (Alpha, beta, gamma, neutrons, ...) when the nucleus atomic number is higher than 83 to reduce the number of nucleons in the
nucleus to reach stability.
What else can I help you with?
Is orbital with no electron possible?
Yes, it's called an unoccupied orbital. There are actually infinitely many unoccupied orbitals for each atom. They represent possible solutions to the wave equation for the atom, and could potentially be occupied by an electron if the atom enters an excited state.
Which subatomic particle is most easily lost from an atom?
The photon probably may be the answer. Every time an electron of an atom gets "excited" after gaining energy, it emits a photon to reach, or rather obtain the ground state(energy levels)
What part of speech is excited in the sentence you are all excited about going to the fair?
In this example, "excited" is an adjective. It is a predicate adjective, because it follows the linking verb "are". An example of using "excited" as a verb is, "His arrival excited the dogs, and they began to bark."
What subatomic particle produces light?
Electrons can produce light when they are "excited," and jump outside their ground state, then hop back, releasing a photon of light.
How many electrons does the C atom own by oxidation-state electron bookkeeping?
4 electrons
An atom is in an excited state when it has its lowest energy?
No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels
When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
What is HTE difference between an atom in the ground state and an atom in an excited state?
Atom in the ground state is stable but atom in excited state is not stable the main reason for this is their energies.Atoms in excited state has more energy so they undergo chemical reaction so they are not stable but atoms in ground state has less energy than the excited state so they dont undergo chemical reaction.
An atom in an excited state .?
... is called an ion.
Does a hydrogen atom expand or contract as it moves from its ground state to an excited state?
A hydrogen atom expands as it moves from its ground state to an excited state. This is because the electron in the excited state is farther away from the nucleus, increasing the average distance between the electron and proton in the atom.
The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?
The electron configuration of a sulfur atom in its ground state is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4. In an excited state, one of the electrons can be promoted to a higher energy level. For example, in an excited state, the electron configuration of a sulfur atom could be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 3p5.
What state is an atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level?
An atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level is in an excited state. This can happen when the electron absorbs energy from its surroundings, such as from light or heat. The electron will eventually return to its original energy level, releasing the absorbed energy as light.
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
An atom is in an excited state when it has absorbed energy, causing its electrons to move to higher energy levels. These excited electrons are unstable and eventually return to their ground state by emitting energy in the form of light or heat.
When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
When a hydrogen electron absorbs radiation, it moves to an excited state. The electron jumps to a higher energy level, causing the hydrogen atom to change its ground state to an excited state.
Do atoms in the excited state have more electrons than in the ground state?
Yes, because an atom in an excited state will normally give off energy and go to a less-excited state or to its ground state. Some atoms have long-lived excited states and are called "metastable".
When an atom in the excited state returns to its ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
When an atom in an excited state returns to its ground state, it releases the excess energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, typically as a photon. The energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the excited state and the ground state. This process is fundamental to phenomena such as fluorescence and the emission spectra of elements.
