Which energy transition may take place in the atom if its electron has absorbed a photon?
The absorbed photon may excite the electron to a higher energy level within the atom. Subsequently, the excited electron may release this energy as a photon by transitioning back to its original energy level. This process is known as emission or fluorescence.
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.
When one electron moves from the 4th shell to the 2nd shell in hydrogen is energy absorbed or emitted by the atom?
The energy is absorbed by the electrons because work needs to be done on the electrons to raise them to an excited state. Energy is stored in the electrons while they are in their excited state and would emit energy if they returned to their ground state.
What is the energy required to overcome the attraction of protons in the nucleus and remove an electron from a gaseous atom?
The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom is called the ionization energy. This energy depends on factors such as the atomic structure and the strength of the attraction between the nucleus and the electron. The higher the attraction, the higher the ionization energy needed to remove the electron.
Electron X can change to a higher energy level or a lower energy level Which statement is true of electron X?
Electron X can transition between energy levels by either absorbing or emitting a photon. The energy change corresponds to the photon's energy (ΔE = hf), where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the photon. The transitions between energy levels are quantized and follow the laws of quantum mechanics.
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.
What happens to electrons when pigments in photo-systems 2 absorb light?
Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.
What does the atom do when the electron moves from lower to higher energy level?
When an electron moves from a lower to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy and jumps to a higher orbit. This process is known as excitation. The electron can then release this absorbed energy as light when it moves back down to a lower energy level.
When an electron in an atom moves from a lower energy state to a higher state?
The electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level. This process is known as excitation. The electron can then release the absorbed energy by emitting a photon and returning to a lower energy state.
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level electromagnetic radiation is what?
If an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy. This energy is typically in the form of electromagnetic radiation or photons.
How can a photon be destroyed or created?
A photon can be created when an electron transitions to a lower energy level and emits a photon. Conversely, a photon can be absorbed and "destroyed" when it is absorbed by an electron, causing the electron to transition to a higher energy level.
When an electron moves up to a higher orbit a quantum of light energy is absorbed. This quantum of light energy is also known as?
photon
When an electron moves up to a higher orbit a quantum of light energy is absorbed this quantum of light energy is also known as?
photon
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.
When an electron moves up to a higher orbit a quantum of light energy is absorbed This quantum of light energy is also known as a?
Photon
What happens when photon is absorbed by atom?
When a photon is absorbed by an atom, it can excite an electron to a higher energy level or even ionize the atom by completely removing an electron. This absorption of energy can cause the atom to undergo various processes such as fluorescence, photoelectric effect, or photoionization, depending on the energy of the photon and the characteristics of the atom.
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.
