When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of the photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
What change occurs with the atom when it is emitting light?
An electron has dropped from a higher energy state to a lower one. The photon emitted has precisely the same energy as was lost by the electron.
Quanta of light emitted from 1 electron drops from the 7th to 2nd energy level?
What atom? Need Z (atomic ) number.
What electron transition represents a gain of energy?
All transitions in which electrons move from a lower to a higher level require a gain of energy. example: 2nd to 3rd shell
When an electron drops from a higher energy level to a lower energy level is it taken from the environment?
No, the energy released by electron might be taken by enviornment. Electron remains in the infuence of corresponding nuclei, in another energy level.
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
A photon is emitted when an electron falls from a higher to lower orbital. A photon is an elementary particles, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
When 10 electrons drop from fifth to second energy level?
Only one photon is produced per electron in any de-excitation. The number of energy levels it drops only determines the energy of the photon emitted.
When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of a photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
What type of particles is released during beta decay?
In beta- decay, an electron and an electron antineutrino is emitted. In beta+ decay, a positron and an electron neutrino is emitted. In both types of decay, if the nucleus is left in an excited state, when it comes back down to ground state, it emits a photon in the form of a gamma ray. In beta+ decay that is precipitated by K Capture, the electron cloud is left in a multi level excited state, and it has one or (usually) more drops in energy as it returns to ground state, each drop emitting a photon in the form of an x-ray.
How is visible light made?
Light is emitted when an electron drops from the orbit of an excited state, into its natural state. The quantum of light emitted is characteristic of the change in energy of the two electron states, and also of the actual element involved.
When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of the photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron

Quanta of light emitted from 1 electron drops from the 7th to 2nd energy level?
What atom? Need Z (atomic ) number.
When electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of the proton released?
You may be confusing "proton" with "photon". A proton is a positively-charged particle contained within the nucleus of an atom. A photon is a discrete unit of energy normally expressed as light. Around the nucleus of the atom, there are some electrons in energy levels. When an atom absorbs energy, it absorbs a specific amount, or "quantum" of energy and the electron boosted to a higher energy level. When the electron drops to a lower energy level, it emits a photon in the form of light at a specific energy and frequency.
How do atom put off ultraviolet light?
An atom could put off ultraviolet light if it was excited by ultraviolet light at the appropriate energy level. Atoms emit light when they are hit with the exact energy of photon to promote electrons to higher orbitals. The light is emitted as the electron drops back to its ground state.
When does an atom produce light?
When light (a photon) collides with an atom, the energy contained by it is absorbed and it bumps one of the electrons orbiting it up to a higher energy level. ( there are several energy levels, think of it as stories of a building) Later when the electron falls down 1 or more energy levels, The energy is released as another photon. If the electron drops down to the original energy level, the same intensity photon is released as was absorbed. If it drops down in 2 or more steps, several photons will be released of varying intensity, depending on the amount of levels dropped.
What must happen for an atom to go from an excited state to a ground state so color is seen?
An excited electron spontaneously drops back to its ground state, emitting a photon of light as it does so. <><><><><> The same thing happens in the nucleus. An excited nucleus drops down to a lower energy level, releasing a photon.
