The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.

What is an energetic electron from decomposed neutron?

An energetic electron from the decay of a neutron is known as a beta particle. Neutrons can decay into a proton, electron, and an antineutrino. The beta particle carries away some of the excess energy released during this process.


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)


When the photon is bombarded on the electron in meta-stable state then why the electrons come to the ground state?

all the electrons moving in their orbits have their natural frequency at which hey vibrate. in meta-stable state, when a photon of energy (equal to difference of energies b/w meta-stable and ground state) , electron starts to vibrate at their natural frequency. as a result its amplitude increases, and it moves to ground sate.


What is hydrogen ions and will take as many as possible?

Hydrogen ions are single protons that are positively charged. They play a crucial role in regulating the acidity (pH) of solutions and are involved in chemical reactions in various biological processes. Excess hydrogen ions can lead to acidic conditions, affecting the environment they are in.


Excess hydrogen ion is eliminated from the body largely by?

Excess hydrogen ions are primarily eliminated from the body through the kidneys in the form of urine. The kidneys help maintain the body's acid-base balance by regulating the amount of hydrogen ions that are excreted. Additionally, the lungs can also eliminate some excess hydrogen ions by adjusting the respiratory rate and depth to help restore the body's pH balance.

What molecule does oxygen become a part of at the end of the electron transport train?

By combining both electrons and protons, oxygen forms into water. O2 + 4e- + 4H+ > 2H2O


In what organelle does the electron transport chain function?

The electron transport chain converts energy stored in hydrogen ions and various other substances formed in early cellular respiration to produce high energy ATP in mitochondria. Mitochondria contain both an inner and an outer membrane, and it is along the inner membrane that the actual reactions of the chain occur. Inside the inner membrane a surplus of hydrogen ions is created that produces a concentration gradient across the membrane to the intermembrane space. This gradient causes a force that pushes hydrogen ions out of the innermost matrix and into the intermembrane space. This exchange occurs through special proteins called ATP synthase that convert low energy ADP into high energy ATP whenever a hydrogen ion is sent through one. When all is said and done, the excess electrons and hydrogen are bonded to oxygen to form water molecules.


What happens to the electron as it moves closer to the nucleus?

An electron moving towards the nucleus slows down and any energy it contains from a higher shelf is released.


Why you need 1.022 Mev in pair?

Pair production can only occur if the energy of the photon is bigger than the rest mass (E0 = m0*c^2) of electron and positron, because this is the energy needed to create these particle (conservation of energy). Excess energy will be kinetic energy of the electron and positron. Rest mass of electron and positron is 0.511 MeV each, so 1.022 MeV in total.


What happens if the energy of a photon exceeds that necessary for pair production?

If the energy of a photon exceeds the threshold energy for pair production, the excess energy will be carried away by the produced particles as kinetic energy. This additional energy will contribute to the speed at which the particles are created and will increase their momentum.


What happens to excess energy production?

Excess energy production can be stored for later use, fed back into the grid for others to use, or dissipated as heat. Storage options include batteries, pumped hydro storage, or compressed air energy storage. Grid integration and smart energy management systems help ensure that excess energy is utilized efficiently.


What energy source is a sun?

How do hydrogen atoms form helium atoms after the big bang?

By a nuclear fusion reaction: H + H + 2n ==>> He Yes, this is true. I want, here, to put it into a better picture for common folk. This Bang is similar to the nuclear furnace that is out Sun. There, hydrogen atoms are fusing to other hydrogen atoms. It happens because gravity strength forces them together. The result is a helium atom(s) plus excess energy. That excess radiation is what blinds you when you try to look at the sun.


When an atom returns to its ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?

it is released (emitted) as part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
