state in which electrons have absorbed energy and "jumped" to a higher energy level
What else can I help you with?
What happens when electrons moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
What is the lowest energy level?
1. Atoms do not have energy levels unlike particles like electrons etc.2. The lowest energy for atoms will be 0 at absolute zero temp of 0 deg Kelvin.3. For electrons in all atoms lowest energy is that of 2 electrons nearest to the nucleus.
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
Light excites in photosynthetic pigments?
Light excites two sets of photosynthetic pigments. These are photosystem 1 (PS1) and photosystem 2 (PS2). PS1 is excited by photons at about 700 nanometers, while PS2 is excited at about 680 nanometers.
Why do you see colors in flame tests?
When an atom is in the flame, an electron in the outer shell of that atom receives energy from the flame and jumps up to a higher shell position. This electron then falls back to is original position and in doing so emits a photon of light of a specific energy. You see this light as a color. Atoms from different elements have different numbers of electrons in their electron shells so the photons emitted as these electrons jump back are all of different energy and therefore emit light of a different color. The color of the flame in the flame test therefore helps to identify the element in the flame producing the colored light.
When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time higher energy level. These electrons are said to be?
"Excited", or in an "excited state".
When an atom has one or more electrons in higher energy levels?
An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.
Which is the highest energy state?
The highest energy state is the excited state, where an atom or molecule has absorbed energy and its electrons are at higher energy levels than their ground state. This state is temporary and unstable, as the electrons will eventually return to their ground state and release the absorbed energy.
What is meant by excited state of an electron?
When the electrons are at higher energy level,they are said to be excited state.
Do electrons release energy when they move to a higher energy level?
Yes, electrons release energy when they move to a lower energy level. When electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy level, they are in an excited state. When they return to a lower energy level, they release energy in the form of light or heat.
What does it mean when the electrons are excited?
When electrons are excited, they absorb energy and move to higher energy levels. This can happen through various processes like heat, light, or electrical energy. The excited state is temporary, and electrons will eventually return to their original energy levels, releasing the absorbed energy in the form of light or heat.
What is light energy absourbed by?
Ultimately, by electrons, which move from one energy state to a higher one with the absorption of photons of energy.
Which energy position do electrons generally want to be in?
Electrons generally want to be in the lowest energy position, which is the ground state energy level. When electrons are in higher energy levels, they tend to transition back to lower energy levels to achieve stability by releasing energy in the form of photons.
When an electron in an atom moves from a lower energy state to a higher state?
The electron absorbs energy and moves to a higher energy level. This process is known as excitation. The electron can then release the absorbed energy by emitting a photon and returning to a lower energy state.
An atom is in an excited state when it has its lowest energy?
No, when an atom is in an excited state, its electrons have gained energy, and they proceed to lose it when they fall back into their normal energy levels
A state in which an atom has more energy than it does at its ground state?
An atom is in an excited state when it has absorbed energy, causing its electrons to move to higher energy levels. These excited electrons are unstable and eventually return to their ground state by emitting energy in the form of light or heat.
How are electrons become excited?
Electrons become excited when they absorb energy, such as through exposure to light or heat. This additional energy causes the electrons to move to a higher energy level, creating an excited state. The electrons will eventually release this energy by returning to their original, lower energy state, emitting light or heat in the process.
