Would an electron have to absorb or release energy to jump from the second energy level to the third level?
Electrons are attracted to the nucleus of the atom of which they are a part; this is because of the electrostatic force between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus. Therefore it takes energy in order to pull an electron farther away from the nucleus and to enable it to remain at a greater distance. This is exactly the same phenomenon as raising a heavy object such as, let us say, a bowling ball, to a greater elevation. It takes energy to do it, since you have to overcome the force of gravity.
What happens when electrons go to a higher energy level?
They become less stable and would, therefore, rather be at their original energy level. They often move back down to their original energy level, releasing their excess energy to the environment. Depending on the amount of energy released, a different wave is produced. (e.g. Light wave, Infra-red wave)
How many electrons fill the outer shell in hydrogen?
An energy level is the fixed amount of energy that a system described by quantum mechanics, such as a molecule, atom, electron, or nucleus, can have. There are no full energy levels in an atom of hydrogen. The first energy level of any atom can hold 2 electrons. Hydrogen only has one electron and it is in the first energy level.
What would happen if there were extra electrons in an atom?
when electron jump from lower energy level to high energy level
Which orbital electron has the highest energy?
I would think the s orbital, because it is closer to the nucleus, and because the outer energy level holds more energy than the inner ones.
If enough energy was added to remove an electron for calcium which energy level would the electron be removed?
The 3s.
Would have to happen in order for an electron in energy level 3 to move to energy level 4?
The atom would have to absorb energy.
What electron would require the least amount of energy to remove from the atom of sulfur?
This is an electron situated on the outermost level.

WOULD AN ELECTRON HAVE TO ABSORB OR RELEASE NEW ENERGY TO FALL FROM THE THIRD ENERGY LEVEL TO THE SECOND ENERGY LEVEL?
It would release energy. It had to absorb it in order to get from 2 to 3. Law of conservation of energy says it must now release it to fall back.

Is the potato the high energy electron?
yes, the potato would be the hgh energy electron
What is energy released on adding an electron to an isolated gas phase atom?
All electron shells represent an energy level - it doesn't matter if its the outermost shell or not. In order for there to be a release of energy the electron has to be coming from a higher energy state. The only energy state higher than the outer-most electron shell would be a free electron. The only way an electron becomes a free electron is that sufficient was provided to lift it from what-ever electron shell (energy level) it was previously in to escape velocity. The energy that it then releases in returning is then this exact same amount of energy.
What is the first quantum number of a 1s2 electron in phosphorus?
The first quantum number (n) represents the energy level (shell), so for a 1s2 electron, it would have a value of 1.
What would happen if there were extra electrons in an atom?
when electron jump from lower energy level to high energy level
What is the region in which a electron is most likely to be found?
in my cereal bowl.
