Energy levels in atoms are somewhat like aircraft flight lanes in the sky - these exist as the places that aircraft are permitted to be, whilst not being permitted to be anywhere else. The flight lanes exist whether or not a plane is in it, but there is nothing to see.
Similarly, an energy levels exist in atoms as the only places where electrons may sit, but there does not have to be an electron in the energy level for it to exist.
What else can I help you with?
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
An atom in an excited state contains more of what type of energy than the same atom in the ground state?
more electrons than an atom in the ground state
What is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom called?
Binding energy. and some is even stored in particles, such as the neutron which has a half-life of about ten minutes before it disintegrates with the release of energy.
What does the change of an atom from an excited state to the ground state always require?
An atom emits a photon (particle of light) when transitioning from a ground state to its excited state. To obey conservation of energy, the energy gained by the atom when an electron moves to a lower energy level is equal to the energy it loses in emitting the photon. (The energy of a photon is E = hf, where E is the energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the photon.) Conversely, when an atom absorbs a photon (as is the case in absorption spectra), the electron absorbing the photon moves to a higher energy level.
What energy changes in an atom bomb?
Atomic bomb is a very danger bomb. IT emits the nucleus energy.
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's?
The energy required to remove an electron from a neutral atom is the atom's ionization energy. It represents the amount of energy needed to remove the most loosely bound electron from an atom in its gaseous state.
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called?
Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is called Atomic Energy or nuclear energy.
The energy needed to completely remove a hydrogen atom from an oxygen atom is called?
bond energy
Why is atom energy called atomic energy?
because it is from an atom. think about it atom-ic. not that hard of a concept
When energy goes into an atom is light produced?
When energy is absorbed by an atom, the electrons in the atom can jump to higher energy levels. When they return to their original positions, they release the extra energy in the form of light. This is how light is produced in an atom.
How much energy is contained within an atom?
The energy contained within an atom is determined by its nucleus and the arrangement of its electrons. This energy is known as the atom's binding energy, which is the amount of energy required to break the nucleus apart. The binding energy of an atom varies depending on its size and composition.
What does t he energy levels of an atom hold?
The energy levels of an atom hold electrons.
How many energy shells does sodium atom have?
A sodium atom has 3 energy shells.
What is the energy state of an atom?
The energy state of an atom refers to the specific energy level that an electron occupies around the nucleus. Electrons can exist in different energy states, or orbitals, depending on the amount of energy they possess. The energy state of an atom is fundamental in determining its chemical and physical properties.
Is energy is conserved when an atom emits a photon of light?
Energy is ALWAYS conserved. The appropriate sum of mass and energy is always conserved. If an atom emits a photon, the atom has less energy/mass, and the universe minus that atom has more energy/mass. It's like carrying some energy from here to there.
What is an atom that produces energy called?
Nuclei Atom
The energy required to remove electrons from an atom is called?
The energy required to remove electrons from an atom is called ionization energy. It is the minimum energy needed to remove an electron from a neutral atom in the gaseous phase.
