Neon signs work by passing a current of electricity through an evacuated tube filled with a non-reactive gas like neon or xenon. As the electrical current heats the gas to a plasma state the plasma gives off a colored light unique to the gas inside.

The glowing neon light is caused by electrons emitting energy as they?

They return to their ground state from an excited state induced by the electric field between the two ends of the light.


What is incandescence caused by?

the state of glowing while at a high temperature, caused by electrons in vibration atoms and molecules that are shaken in and out of their stable energy levels, emitting radiant energy in the process. The peak frequency of radiant energy is proportional to the absolute temperature of a heated substance


What are rules of incandescence?

Does the glowing of a neon light caused by an electron emitting energy as it is moving from lower to higher energy levels?

No, other way around. The energy difference between the higher level and the lower, appears as photon energy.

What do electrons need to jump levels?

The correct answer is "energy".


Why is it necessary to heat the solution before it will give off a color?

heating a solution is adding energy to the atoms, specifically the electrons. the electrons on the lowest energy level (n=1) absorb this energy and move up to a higher energy level. However, electrons dont like to stay on these high energy levels so they release the energy they absorbed (emitting a specific amount of energy in the form of a wavelength and a frequency =light) and return to the ground state/lowest energy level.


What are glowing gases that shoot into space?

glowing is energy for the star so that is why they have light.


Can the sharing of electrons only happen on the outer most energy level of the atom?

Yes, bonds and reactions are caused by the valence electrons only (the outermost principle energy level).
