Why does electron moves from one shell to another and what happens?

when an electron gains too much energy it has to move to a higher energy level to keep the atom stable by this atom remains conserved and when electrons get less excited they seem to disapper and reapper in the lower energy levels....this can be learnt via quantum physics chapter of laws of quantum mechanics......

What is another name for the electron shell?
Orbital x ray
What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
It becomes an ion.
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gain an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens at the atomic level when light is absorbed?
When an electron absorbs a single photon of light it moves from its current shell to an outer shell.
Is energy absorbed when an electron moves to a closer shell?
No. Energy is emitted when an electron moves to a closer shell (closer to the nucleus).
When an electron moves from the outer shell of one element to the outer shell of another element what kind of bond has been created?
This is an ionic bond.
What happens to the electrons in the outer shell when the alkali metals react with other elements?
the alkali metals have 1 electron in their outer most shell. in order to obtain a full outer shell they have to lose this electron. so when they react with another metal they lose this electron and the outer most shell.
When an alkali metal reacted with a non metal what happens to the loan outer shell electron?
The electron outside the shell donate its electron to the one inside the shell
What happens if the outermost electron shell is empty?
the shell would never be empty, there would be another shell under it and it would have all of its valence electrons
What is another name for the electron shell?
Orbital x ray

What happens when a sodium atom loses an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes positive.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
It becomes an ion.
What is the overall of an atom?
The overall of an atom is a nucleus (protons and neutrons), and 1 or 2 electrons. The rest are for large atoms: an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons, an electron shell, electrons.
What happens when an atom loses a electron from its outermost shell?
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
