No.

When you excite an atom, you just do something with the electrons within the atom. (You take them into higher energy levels.)

An atom can be ionized only when it is charged, you would have to remove or add an electron.

But you are only placing the electron on higher energy level, so it stays within the atom, therefore atom is not ionized.

What effect do electrons from the magnetosphere have on atoms?

Electrons from the magnetosphere can cause atoms to become excited or ionized when they interact with them. This can lead to the emission of light, changes in chemical reactions, or damage to biological molecules. Additionally, these electrons can contribute to the creation of auroras when they collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere.


Are Ions charged atoms or groups of atoms?

Either one. You can have an ionized atom or an ionized molecule. Many ionized molecules are radicals that had been part of a larger molecule and the event that separated them also ionized the radical. This is what free radicalsare.


Can you draw the structures of an ionized carboxyl group and an ionized amino group in one question?

The ionized carboxyl group has a negatively charged oxygen atom bonded to a carbon atom, which is also bonded to a hydroxyl group. The ionized amino group has a positively charged nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.


What are atoms that have gained energy called?

Atoms that have gained energy are called excited atoms. This means that their electrons have moved to higher energy levels, and they are in an unstable state before they release the energy in the form of light or heat to return to a lower energy state.


Does a gas remain ionized forever?

No, a gas does not remain ionized forever. The ions in a gas can recombine with electrons to form neutral atoms or molecules. The time it takes for a gas to recombine depends on the specific conditions such as temperature and pressure.

How is gases and plasma different?

A plasma is a gas where the atoms are ionized (usually it is so hot that the atoms are completely ionized, the nuclei and electrons are completely separate).


Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?

Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.


Why he2 exists only in discharge tubes?

He2 exists only in discharge tubes because it is an excited state of the helium atom that is created in the high-energy environment of discharge tubes. When electrical energy is passed through the tube, helium atoms are ionized and excited to create He2 molecules, which are unstable and quickly dissociate back into individual helium atoms.


What plasma made of?

Gas of multiply ionized atoms.


How many electrons do carbon atoms have?

Carbon atoms have 6 electrons, when non-ionized


Can the neon in a glass tube be excited more than once?

Yes, the gas is ionized every time sufficient voltage is applied and remains that way until the voltage is removed. While the gas is ionized, individual neon atoms are continually bombarded by free electrons, causing their orbital electrons to jump to higher energy (excited) states. When an electron falls back to the lower energy state, it emits a photon.


What is Neon's color in natural state?

When it's not excited and ionized by an electric current, neon is colorless.


What happeneds when atoms get excited?

Atoms release a particular color of light


Can atoms be ionized by changing the number of positive charges?

Ionizing is when you rip an electron away. so by taking an electron away, the atom is ionized
