What is difference between a ground state electrons configuration and an excited state configuration?
In the ground state all the (only one for Hydrogen)) electrons is in the lowest stable orbit. If the electron gains energy (usually from a photon) it will orbit in a higher energy state (called excited).
What is meant by isolated gaseous atom and why this term is used in case of ionization energy?
ionization enthalpy means the energy required to remove an electron from isolated gaseous atom in its ground state . the isolated gaseous state is the state in which no other force of attraction acting on an atom form other atom . so that, we get the exact energy required to romove or add an electron to an atom. and here ground state is used to say that electron are stable and are not exited .. so , the ionization enthalpy is the energy required to remove an electron from gaseous atom which is free from other atom in that state in which electrons are stable. by shashank
What do you mean when you say an atom is electron deficient?
When an atom is electron deficient, it means that it does not have enough electrons to complete its valence shell and achieve a stable electron configuration. This can lead to the atom being highly reactive as it seeks to gain electrons from other atoms to become more stable.
When is an atom uncharged or neutral?
An atom is uncharged or neutral when the number of protons in its nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. This balance of positive and negative charges results in the atom having no overall charge.
Can you explain the difference between the charge of an ion such as a charge of 2 for an O2 minus ion and the oxidation state of an atom such as the plus 4 oxidation state of carbon in CH4.?
Charge is exactly what it says, the number of positive or negative charges carried by a species, so as you say the oxide ion carries a charge of 2-. Oxidation state is a more general idea which helps us when thinking about redox. It is the charge which the atom would carry if the bond were ionic. Many bonds are not ionic, but covalent, yet one partner in the bond may be considered more positive and the other more negative. For instance, in the permanganate ion, MnO4- (where the 4 should be a subscript and the minus sign a superscript) the manganese is bonded with a lot of oxygen. If the internal bonds were ionic, the manganese would carry a charge of +7. In MnO2, it would only carry +4, so we say the manganese is less oxidised in MnO2. Oxidation state is the formal charge carried by an atom. It can be used for either ionic or covalent compounds and helps us to keep track of what electrons are doing in a reaction. If the compound contains only simple ions it's the same thing as the charge, but if we are looking at a covalent substance, (and remember that polyatomic ions like permanganate contain covalent bonds within them), then it's only an idea in our heads. Note that it's usual to put the sign first for an oxidation number and second for a charge. Thus we say the charge on an oxide ion is 2-, but it's in the -2 oxidation state.
When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
What does it mean to say that an atom is an exited state?
When an atom is in an excited state, it means that its electrons have absorbed energy and moved to higher energy levels. This can happen through processes like absorbing light or collisions with other particles. The electrons do not stay in this state indefinitely and eventually return to their original, lower energy levels by releasing the absorbed energy in the form of photons.
When you say an electron is in its ground state what does that mean?
when something is in the ground^No. That is totally incorrect.Basically, a ground state electron is when the atom/element is not being surged through with heat or electricity. Basically, it's the atom's normal electron configuration. So NA [Sodium]'s ground state would be shown as : 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1.The opposite is when it's in it's excited state. You can remember tell when an atom is in it's excited state when in the electron configuration, there is a huge jump, like 1s2,2s2,2p5, 3s2. This might have happened due to being exposed to heat and or electricity.In other words, ground state=normal, excited is, well, excited. XD
If an atom has 80 protons and 121 neutrons and is not in an excited state how many electrons would Bohr say the atom has A. 41 B. 80 C. 121 D. 201?
80
What is difference between a ground state electrons configuration and an excited state configuration?
In the ground state all the (only one for Hydrogen)) electrons is in the lowest stable orbit. If the electron gains energy (usually from a photon) it will orbit in a higher energy state (called excited).
Ground state vs excited state?
A ground state is an outer orbital electron of an element that is at its lowest possible energy level. The electron in an excited state has a higher energy level than a ground state electron. The average distance from the nucleus is greater in the excited state than in the ground state.
Is excited an adjetive?
Yes, "excited" is an adjective. It describes a state of enthusiasm or eagerness, often in response to something stimulating or enjoyable. For example, you might say, "She was excited about the upcoming concert."
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.
What does exlamation mean?
um well i have to say exclamation means that your excited or happy
What does it mean if a boy say Oooo?
A boy can say ooo for alot of reasons so dont get excited.
Is it correct to say sheerly excited?
No. That would mean "excited like a cliff " which is nonsense. Use a word like "clearly" or "plainly" if you mean the excitement is evident; like "thoroughly" or "totally" if you mean it is all-encompassing.
How do you say I am excited in Hawaiian?
You would say "Ke ʻoluʻolu au" in Hawaiian for "I am excited".
