What else can I help you with?
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
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.
According to Bohr's theory an excited atom would?
radiate energy
What does is mean to say that an atom is in an excited state?
When an atom is in an excited state, it means that its electrons have absorbed energy and moved to a higher energy level farther from the nucleus. This higher energy level is unstable, and the electron will eventually return to its original energy level by emitting a photon of light.
How can an electron in an atom lose energy to transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level?
An electron in an atom can lose energy to transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light. This process is known as emission.
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 happens when heat or electrical energy is added to an atom?
When heat is added to an atom, its electrons gain energy and move to higher energy levels, causing the atom to become excited. When electrical energy is added, it can either cause the atom to gain or lose electrons, leading to the formation of ions. Both processes can result in changes to the atom's chemical properties.
What happens when an atom is exposed to an energy source such as electricity?
When an atom is exposed to an energy source like electricity, its electrons can become excited and move to higher energy levels. This can cause the atom to emit light (fluorescence) or heat energy. In some cases, the atom may also lose or gain electrons, leading to chemical reactions.
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.
What is the difference between the ground state of an atom and excited state of an atom?
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of the atom.
When an atom absorbs energy that causes one of its electrons to move to a higher energy level the atom is said to be in?
Excited state
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.
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 that has higher energy than normal is said to be what?
It is said to be excited.
According to Bohr's theory an excited atom would?
radiate energy
