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.
Which electrons are shared in molecules?
In metallic bonding, the valence electrons freely 'jump' from atom to atom, forming kind of an electron sea.
Why are valence electrons significant?
They are significant because they determine what element would be in a specific block (s,p,d,f).
Can you describe the painting Jump by Janet Fish?
Jump, a painting by Janet Fish, is a celebration of light and color. Just like Fish' other art works, Jump is full of vibrant colors and brightness.
What happens to an atom when it loses an electon?
they jump to a higher energy level
What happens to the energy of semiconductor when the temperature of the room increases?
When electrons are given energy, they can "jump" to a higher energy level or "electron shell". It would then be in an excited state. When it returns, it will emit the energy in the form of an electromagnetic wave (light). A good example is a simple filament lightbulb. Electrons undergo thermal excitation (excited by heat) and will emit a whole range of electromagnetic waves (in the visable region of the spectrum, but also a lot of lower energy infra red light)
What causes an electron to emit light?
Simple answer: Valence electrons losing energy. Expanded answer: Atoms, the most basic unit of matter, contain charged particles call electrons and protons, along with neutral particles called neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are arranged in specific areas called shells (or orbits). When the electrons are excited (for example, by heat), they jump from one shell to another. Once they fall back they start to emit photons--light. Each element has a different color based on how many valence electrons it has.

Why do the metal ions radiate energy as light?
Metal ions radiate energy as light because of the electrons. The electrons that are moving around the nucleus move in spaces called orbitals. When an electron is zapped with energy (usually electricity) the electrons absorb that energy and jump to a higher energy level than at which they were. As the electrons lose this energy, they fall back to their ground state or their "normal non-excited state" and they emit or release the same amount of energy that they absorbed or the equivalent to the amount they absorbed in the same amount of levels that they dropped down. The energy that is emitted is what we know as light, but they also emit UV and infrared radiation.
This stack of thylakoids catches the light?
When light strikes a thylakoid, energy is transferred to electrons which cause them to jump to a higher energy level... the electrons are now "Excited". Hope this helps :D
What is the excitement of electrons?
We usually apply the term ionization to describe what happens to electrons that are excited and change Fermi energy levels. The term ion is applied to mean charged particles. As just one example, the gas atoms in a fluorescent tube are ionized by the applied voltage. The electrons are "excited" and "jump" to higher energy levels and then fall back and emit a photon of light as they do. When the tube is lit, countless numbers of electrons are shifting orbitals and shifting back with the emission of light to give us the illumination we desired when we turned it on.
What charged electrons of an orbit?
Electrons jump to higher orbits when they receive photonic input. When they drop into a lower orbit they give up energy as photons. The answer is light.
How do the aurora borealis get its color?
The colour is caused by the electrons in atoms of the air in the upper atmosphere being energised (moving to a higher orbital state) by energy coming from the Sun. When these electrons fall back to their normal ground state, they emit a photon of a specific wavelength/colour. Different element's atoms have different energy states that electron can jump to and hence give of different coloured light.
What is the approximate color of light emitted by heated LiCl?
The lithium will emit a bright red wavelength of light. This is a result of lithium atoms oscillating back and forth between their ground and excited states, absorbing and releasing quanta of energy of as their electrons jump up and fall back down through the energy levels.

Is the colour of a flame based on how many electrons and protons there are?
The colour of a flame is not based on how many electrons and protons there are, however it is to do with electrons. When the electrons furthest from the nucleus of the atom are excited (in this case by the heat of the flame) they gain energy and "jump" up "energy levels". The electrons don't like this extra energy so in order to lose it, they emit a photon at a particular wavelength, which we perceive as colour.
What acid burns green in a Bunsen burner?
Boric Acid! When boron is heated, electrons absorb a certain amount of heat energy that causes them to jump to higher energy levels. After While, these electrons lose their energy and fall back down to their original levels, and as they do so, they emit energy in the form of light. Because the energy absorbed by electrons is different per element, each element will give a different color. Boron gives off a green color.
