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).
What causes the colored flame for each element on the subatomic level?
The heat of the flame gives off energy to the ions. This results in electrons jumping out of their ground state and into their excited state. From a lower subatomic level to a higher one. When the electrons fall back down, the give off a color.
When electrons jump to a higher energy level they emit or absorb energy?
Electrons are normally in an energy level called the ground state. In the ground state electrons absorb heat energy and then get into the excited state where they release the energy and exert light energy. The light energy can be seen with a spectroscope with a unique bright line emission spectrum.
Do the colors of flame tests result from taking in energy or releasing energy?
The colors seen in flame tests result from the release of energy. When a substance is atomized and exposed to a flame, electrons in the atoms are excited to higher energy levels. As the electrons return to their normal energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, creating the characteristic colors of flame tests.
Why is a lithium nitrate flame and a lithium chloride flame the same color?
Lithium nitrate and lithium chloride flame tests produce the same color because it is the lithium electrons that are raised to a higher energy level and then drop back down to their ground state. Any ionic compound containing lithium will give the same results. Flame tests are used to show the color and spectrum of the element as its electrons are raised to a higher energy level and then fall back to their ground state.

Why does a piece of red glass rod when heated and taken out glows with green light?
When a red glass rod is heated, it absorbs energy and electrons move to higher energy levels. When these electrons return to their ground state, they release energy in the form of light. The green light observed is likely due to the specific composition of the glass, which may emit green light as the electrons transition back down to lower energy levels.
Why is no color emitted from the solid before it is placed into the flame?
Its electrons have not been excited to higher energy levels until after the solid is placed in the flame. The heat causes electrons to be excited and when they fall back down to their ground state, they emit light at a specific wavelength, giving off a specific color of visible light.
Ground state vs excited state?
A ground state is an outer orbital electron of an element that is at its lowest possible energy level. The electron in an excited state has a higher energy level than a ground state electron. The average distance from the nucleus is greater in the excited state than in the ground state.
What is reproduced when electrons fall from the exited state?
Every electron that falls from an excited state back down to the ground state releases a "photon," which is a bundle of energy in the form of light. Albert Einstein came up with this term, and a whole bunch of photons all released at once can make a visible light. This is how glow sticks and neon lights basically work.

The heat of the flame gives off energy to the ions. This results in electrons jumping out of their ground state and into their excited state. From a lower subatomic level to a higher one. When the electrons fall back down, the give off a color.
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.
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.

How do the Aurora Brealis colours form?
Gases get excited by charged solar particles, their electrons rise to higher energy levels, when the electrons drop down to a lower level they emit characteristic colored light. Oxygen emissions give green or brownish-red colors, depending on the amount of energy absorbed. Nitrogen emissions give blue or red; blue if the atom regains an electron after it has been ionized, red if returning to ground state from an excited state.
What atom particles are ejected and travel down the transport chains in the light reaction?
