What types of electromagnetic radiation can be released when an electron falls from an excited state to a ground state?

Whenever the electron falls from an excited state to a lower level, energy is released in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Electromagnetic radiation can be light of different wavelengths and therefore different colors


Where does coal go when released?

When released, coal falls to the ground.


If an electron is in an excited state it must lose energy when it falls to a lower state. What happens to the energy that is lost?

This energy is released as a photon.


Why is aluminum reflective?

Aluminum can reflect up to 97% of light that falls upon it when highly polished, but how does it do this? Reflections occur when light hitting a material provides enough energy for an electron to move to an excited state, from where it emits a photon of light upon returning to its ground state. In aluminum there are many electrons that are free to easily become "excited" like this, this makes it an extremely good reflector.


What causes an electron to emit light?

Simple answer: Valence electrons losing energy. Expanded answer: Atoms, the most basic unit of matter, contain charged particles call electrons and protons, along with neutral particles called neutrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are arranged in specific areas called shells (or orbits). When the electrons are excited (for example, by heat), they jump from one shell to another. Once they fall back they start to emit photons--light. Each element has a different color based on how many valence electrons it has.

When an electron falls back to its ground state how much energy is released?

It releases the same amount of energy that it absorbed when it was excited to a higher energy state.


If everyone drove hydrogen cars would it rain more?

No. Water is the by-product of hydrogen fuel. Because of the law of gravity, it comes out of the exhaust pipe and falls to the ground.


What happend when an electron in a hydrogen atom moves to a higher level?

It immediately falls back to the ground state and emits a photon of light.

What happens to water when it falls on cemented ground?

when water falls on a cemented ground the cemented ground can't absorve water much and the water flows away.
