all the electrons moving in their orbits have their natural frequency at which hey vibrate. in meta-stable state, when a photon of energy (equal to difference of energies b/w meta-stable and ground state) , electron starts to vibrate at their natural frequency. as a result its amplitude increases, and it moves to ground sate.

What radioactive decay processes have no transmutation?

Only gamma, it is the process by which a metastable excited nuclear isomer of an isotope relaxes down to the ground state of the same isotope. Some metastable states must undergo multiple gamma decays through less excited metastable states to reach the ground state.


Are the valence electrons held most tightly by the atom?

Valence electrons are the electrons least tightly held by the atom and by definition are the electrons in the outermost shell of the electron and are highest in energy. They are the electrons that often contribute to an elements reactivity and in the case of Sodium, which as one valence electron in its ground state, it "gives up" its electron when it comes in contact with water.

Does xenon have a low chemical reactivity?

In its ground state, all of its electron shells are full, with no electrons left over.


Are electron shells and valence electrons the same thing?

Valency is the number of electrons in the outer shell the charge is how many electrons is needed to form an octet (full valence = 8 electrons) Eg. Sulfur valence = 6 charge = -2 (needs to gain 2 electrons to gain an octet)


How many electrons are in the outer orbit of silver?
