No, electrons must absorb energy in order to move to a higher energy level. They release energy when they move to a lower energy level.

When an atom has one or more electrons in higher energy levels?

An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.


Operation of led diode?

LED diode:when certain amount of voltage is applied to LED diode the electrons which are present in lower energy level jumps in to higher energy level after certain time the electrons in the higher energy level again jumps in to lower energy level .while jumping from higher energy level to lower energy level electrons emits energy in the form of light(visible or invisible)


Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first energy level or in the second?

When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time at a higher energy level these electrons are said to be?

These electrons are called "excited".


How do you find out how many electrons are in the higher energy level of nitrogen?

When electrons jump to a higher energy level they emit or absorb energy?

Electrons are normally in an energy level called the ground state. In the ground state electrons absorb heat energy and then get into the excited state where they release the energy and exert light energy. The light energy can be seen with a spectroscope with a unique bright line emission spectrum.


How are emissions of radiation from an atom explained by Bohrs model?

Electrons absorb energy to make electrons move from an lower energy level to a higher energy level. This energy is released as some form of e-m radiation when the electron moves from the higher level to a lower energy level.
