An atom in which an electron has moved up to a higher level is in an excited state. The lowest state of the atom is called the ground state.Ê

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).
Why would an electron move to a higher energy level?
excitation
Why do metals like copper conduct electricity?
The outer electrons in a metal atom are loosely held, as a result they are easily moved from one atom to the next, transferring energy with it. When this happens though a piece of metal in one direction this energy gets transferred from one electron to the next, in a sort of domino effect
What moved in fixed orbits around the nucleus in Bohr's model of a the atom?
Bohr did not speak of fixed LOCATIONS of electrons, he spoke of fixed energy levels. His name for such energy levels was "orbits" or "orbitals."
Why is transfer of electron from 2s subshell to 1s subshell not possible?
For a 2s subshell to be present, the 1s subshell must first be full, which means no more electrons can be moved into the 1s subshell.
What state is an electron in when is has moved from a lower energy level to a higher energy level?
excited
What happens when electrons moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
What can you assume if an electron moves to a higher energy level?
When an electron is moved to a higher energy level,after absorption, the quantum no longer exists as a separate entity -- its energy has been seamlessly integrated ...into the orbital energy of the electron. If the electon absorbs another quantum, that is likewise integrated seamlessly. if the electron drops down a level toward the nucleus, it emits some of its energy as a quantum, outside the electron, that quantum exists as a photon (electromagnetic radiation). inside an electron, there are no separate or independent quanta. in case of an annihilation, ALL the energy of the electron turns into one quantum (and all the energy of the positron into another quantum).If i didn't do a good job of explaining this, please post in the DiscBrd AND send me a private message, and i will try to clarify.
If an electron gun electron is moved with electric potential of 9000 volt.then What will be the energy of electron in electron volt?
If an initially stationary electron falls through 9,000 volts of potential difference, then it arrives at the positive terminal with 9,000 eV of energy.
In physics what is an electron volt?
In physics an electron volt is a very small unit of energy. An electron volt is the amount of energy gained by the charge of an electron once it has moved across an electric potential difference of one volt.
What is the definition of excited state electron?
An atom will go into an excited state when the electrons are given extra energy. Then after the electrons have been excited it will eventually go back to ground state producing a light as it returns to its normal state.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
When an object is moved from a higher place to a lower place what changes?
Its potential energy.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower what changes?
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf, the only significant thing that changes is the potential energy of the book: when the book is on the higher shelf, it's potential energy will be higher than when it is on a lower shelf.Potential energy is calculated using the formula:PE = mghWhere:m = mass of the objecth = height of the objectg = force of gravity
How the hole moves?
A hole is a place where an electron is missing. If an electron moves into that places, the electron will be missing somewhere else - the hole has moved along.A hole is a place where an electron is missing.

What does an electron produce?
An electron produces an electron cloud when it is moved about a nucleus of an atom.
Why do cations emit colors when heated in a Bunsen burner flame?
Transitions between electronic energy levels release electromagnetic radiation corresponding to the energy difference between the levels. The heat promotes the electrons to the higher level; when they drop back down to the lower level a specific color of light is emitted.
