energy is given out. this is emitted in the form light ie each atom has its own characteristic emission spectra.

How many electrons are located in the 2p sub level in a ground-state nitrogen atom?
I believe there are 3 electrons
How do valence electrons differ from the other electrons in an atom are the outermost energy?
They do not differ in any way, except they are the 1 to 8 electrons in the highest energy ground state orbitals of that atom.
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.
What is the total number of electrons found in the valence shell of an alkaline earth element in the ground state?
less than 2 (1)
How many electrons does the C atom own by oxidation-state electron bookkeeping?
4 electrons
When electrons lose energy and return to their initial or ground state what is given off?
Light.
Can electrons lose energy at ground state explain?
No. At ground state, the electrons are at their lowest energy.
When an atom is excited the electrons go up in energy level and then soon return to ground state emitting a photonif energy can not be related were physically does this photon come from?
The exciting of an electron takes in energy. The fall back to the ground state releases that energy as a photon. The photon is created by the return to the ground state.
How many unpaired electrons does an atom of antimony in its ground-state have?
An atom of antimony in its ground state has 3 unpaired electrons.
Why is visible light given off when a salt such as sodium chloride is exposed to a flame?
excited electrons returning to the ground state.
The glowing neon light is caused by electrons emitting energy as they?
They return to their ground state from an excited state induced by the electric field between the two ends of the light.
What is the number of valence electrons in an atom of Boron in the ground state?
The total number of valence electrons in Boron's ground state is 2
What is argon used for in fieworks?
Argon is used to produce violet lights. Electrons in argon atoms use energy from the firework explosion to make the transition from the ground state to an excited state. Their return to the ground state results in the emission of violet light.
How many valence electrons are present in an atom of bromine in the ground state?
5 valence electrons exist in bromine period, at ground state bromine has 3 valence electrons
Do Stronium have unpaired electrons?
Not in its ground state.
What happens when an electron return to its ground state?
Energy must be emitted for an electron to return to the ground state. This energy typically occurs in the form of a photon--a particle/wavelet of light. Flourescent bulbs, for example, conduct a current through a gas knocking electrons into higher, more exicted orbits. As the electrons decay into lower orbits, light is emitted, producing the flourescent glow.
How many unpaired electrons does phosphorus have in its ground state?
3 unpaired electrons
