When an electron gets excited is energy released or absorbed?

When an electron gets excited, energy is absorbed to move the electron to a higher energy level. This absorbed energy gets released when the electron returns to its original energy level, emitting electromagnetic radiation such as light.


If an electron has absorbed energy and has shifted to a higher energy level the electron is said to be what?

This electron is called excited.


What event accompanies energy absorption by chlorophyll or other pigment molecules of the antenna complex?

The event that accompanies energy absorption by chlorophyll or other pigment molecules of the antenna complex is the excitation of electrons. When light energy is absorbed by the pigment molecules, their electrons get excited to a higher energy state. This excited state is essential for the subsequent transfer of energy to the reaction center of the photosystem for further processing.


What is the amount of energy released by an electron as it returned to ground state?

The energy released by an electron as it returns to the ground state is equal to the difference in energy between its initial excited state and the ground state. This energy is typically released in the form of a photon with a specific wavelength determined by the energy difference.


Does an excited electron move up or down an energy level?

The excited electron move up.


Can an electron stay in an excited state without outside energy?

No, an electron cannot remain in an excited state without additional energy input. Excited states are temporary and the electron will eventually return to its ground state, releasing the energy it absorbed as photons.


What did Planck say about energy and electron?

He said that electrons can become excited and begin to hop energy levels; when this happens an electron is in the excited state.


An electron that has absorbed energy?

excited state


In which state does the electron possess more energy?

An electron possesses more energy in the excited state than the ground state.


When an electron falls back to its ground state how much energy is released?

It releases the same amount of energy that it absorbed when it was excited to a higher energy state.


What is the energy required to excite an electron from the ground state to an excited state with an energy level of 13.6 eV?

The energy required to excite an electron from the ground state to an excited state with an energy level of 13.6 eV is 13.6 electron volts.


What happened to the energyof an electron as it goes farther from the nucleus?

if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
