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.

∙ 11y agoWhen atoms are excited, electrons move from lower energy level to higher one. This can be achieved when an atom absorbs energy (in the form of heat, light etc).

∙ 7y agoAn atom enters the excited states when one of the electrons is moved up or bumped up to a higher energy level. This requires the input or absorption of energy from some outside source.

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
When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
What state is an atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level?
An atom in which an electron has moved up to a higher level is in an excited state. The lowest state of the atom is called the ground state.Ê
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.
Can a flame test be used to identify a non metal atom in a compound?
No, because non metal atoms do not enter an excited state.
An atom in an excited state .?
... is called an ion.
The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?
It depends on the atom. For example, the electron configuration of an atom of boron in the ground state is 2-3. In the excited state, it would be 2-2-1. For an atom of chlorine, the ground state configuration is 2-8-7. The excited state would be 2-8-6-1. When an atom enters the excited state, an electron moves up to a higher energy level and releases energy. An electron in the excited state is not stable until it returns to ground state.
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
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
That is known as an excited state.
If an atom has 80 protons and 121 neutrons and is not in an excited state how many electrons does the atom have?
80
What is the lowest energy state of an unbonded atom called?
Excited State -_-
Whenever an excited hydrogen atom falls back from an excited state to its ground state it?
The answer is (B) Emits a Photon of Radiation.
