What else can I help you with?
An atom is in an excited state when it has its lowest energy?
No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels
What does it mean when the electrons are excited?
When electrons are excited, they absorb energy and move to higher energy levels. This can happen through various processes like heat, light, or electrical energy. The excited state is temporary, and electrons will eventually return to their original energy levels, releasing the absorbed energy in the form of light or heat.
Electrons that are not in the highest occupied energy level are called?
inner-shell electrons
What must an electron do to move from ground state to an excited state?
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.
According to Bohr's theory an excited atom would?
radiate energy
What don't atoms radiate?
Atoms do not radiate continuously because electrons exist in quantized energy levels that require a specific amount of energy to transition between levels. When an electron transitions between levels, it may emit or absorb a discrete amount of energy in the form of photons, resulting in characteristic spectral lines. Atoms are stable in their ground state and only emit radiation when excited.
When sunlight excited electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?
the electrons gain a huge amount of energy
Why do the metal ions radiate energy as light?
Metal ions radiate energy as light because of the electrons. The electrons that are moving around the nucleus move in spaces called orbitals. When an electron is zapped with energy (usually electricity) the electrons absorb that energy and jump to a higher energy level than at which they were. As the electrons lose this energy, they fall back to their ground state or their "normal non-excited state" and they emit or release the same amount of energy that they absorbed or the equivalent to the amount they absorbed in the same amount of levels that they dropped down. The energy that is emitted is what we know as light, but they also emit UV and infrared radiation.
When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time higher energy level. These electrons are said to be?
"Excited", or in an "excited state".
How does the electrons become excited?
Electrons become excited when they absorb energy, such as from heat, light, or electricity. This extra energy causes the electrons to move to a higher energy level away from the nucleus of an atom, creating an excited state.
Why electrons does not radiate energy?
Electrons do radiate energy when they are accelerated, but in stable orbits around an atomic nucleus, they do not radiate energy due to a balance between the centripetal force keeping them in orbit and the electromagnetic force. This results in a stable orbit without energy loss.
State in which electrons have jumped to a higher energy level?
state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level
How are electrons become excited?
Electrons become excited when they absorb energy, such as through exposure to light or heat. This additional energy causes the electrons to move to a higher energy level, creating an excited state. The electrons will eventually release this energy by returning to their original, lower energy state, emitting light or heat in the process.
The state of matter in which electrons have absorbed energy is called?
Excited Electrons
What makes an elements electrons in an excited state?
An element's electrons can be in an excited state when they absorb energy from an external source, such as heat or light. This added energy causes the electrons to move to higher energy levels further from the nucleus. As the electrons return to their original energy levels, they release this extra energy in the form of light or heat.
When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time at a higher energy level these electrons are said to be?
These electrons are called "excited".
An atom is in an excited state when it has its lowest energy?
No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels
