Which particle is emitted when an atom OF 85Kr spontaneously decays?
a beta particle
An excited atom decays to it's ground state and emits a proton of green light if instead the atom decays to an intermediate state what could the light emitted be?
If an atom that emits a green proton when it decays to its ground state decays to an intermediate state instead it will emit a proton that is yellow/orange/red. The reason is that it will be a lower energy proton emitted and lower energy waves correspond to longer wavelengths like the ones that make up these colors.
Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?
Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.
How do you calculate the energy of violet light emitted by a hydrogen atom with a wavelength of 410.1nm?
4.85*10^-19
What is the atomic emission spectra?
The colors of light given off when an element loses energy
Are photons of all colors being emitted by the atom and being detected by the spectrometer?
Yes, it is true.
Why are only certain colors of light absorbed by and emitted from an atom?
Because the electrons of the atom are in specific energy levels. Therefore the emission of light is dependent upon the energy levels of the atom. F A B I N
What happens to a radioactive atom after it has emitted its radiation?
The initial atom is transformed in another atom.
Do electrons jump to higher energy levels when specific colors of light emitted by an atom in a hot thin gas?
Your question is unclear. However electron jump to a higher energy level when an atom absorbs energy.
What is the electron emitted from the atom called?
the gamma ray.
How energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?
The energy may be emitted all at once or in smaller steps
What is the total collection of photons emitted by a given atom?
Spectrum
What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom in the energies of the electrons in the atom?
The more energy levels the electron jumps the more energy the emitted light will have. The more energy you have the shorter wavelength there is.
Which particle is emitted when an atom OF 85Kr spontaneously decays?
a beta particle
The unit of electromagnetic energy that is emitted from an atom when it changes energy?
Photon
When an atom returns to the ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
it is released (emitted) as part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
