when an electron moves from low energy state to high energy state , it gains energy.
when an electron moves from excited state to ground state it emits photons of wavelength equal to the difference between the two energy levels. Consider a hydrogen atom. If the electron is at the second energy level in the atom (the energy of this level is -3.4 eV )it can stay there for about only 10^-8 s and then after that it just to the level below .If it jumps from second to ground state (energy of ground state is -13.6 eV) it emits aphoton of energy = 13.6-3.4 =10.2 eV. .............................Gho$t
This energy is released as a photon.
All transitions in which electrons move from a lower to a higher level require a gain of energy. example: 2nd to 3rd shell
To move an electron from the ground state to an excited state, it requires an input of energy. It should be equal to the energy difference between the two levels. This energy comes from collision with other molecules and atoms.
An electron possesses more energy in the excited state than the ground state.
An electrons moves from lower energy to higher energy when it is excited.
It falls back to its ground state, emitting light of a particular wavelength and color.
When an electron moves to a lower energy level, the difference in energy appears in the form of a photon, which the electron emits.

He said that electrons can become excited and begin to hop energy levels; when this happens an electron is in the excited state.
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
An electron may change to an excited state, and an electron may move to a higher orbit.
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.
i think it contracts because in excited state, electron have more energy and less pull.
