When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
An atom in an excited state .?
... is called an ion.
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?
An excited atom is electrically neutral because the number of protons in the nucleus is equal to the number of electrons surrounding the nucleus. When an atom becomes excited, its electrons move to higher energy levels but the total negative charge from the electrons is still balanced by the positive charge from the protons, maintaining the atom's neutrality.
Does a hydrogen atom expand or contract as it moves from its ground state to an excited state?
A hydrogen atom expands as it moves from its ground state to an excited state. This is because the electron in the excited state is farther away from the nucleus, increasing the average distance between the electron and proton in the atom.
When an atom absorbs energy that causes one of its electrons to move to a higher energy level the atom is said to be in?
Excited state
Which term is defined as an atom that has a charge?
Ionized atom Excited atom
When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited 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
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
An atom in an excited state .?
... is called an ion.
What is HTE difference between an atom in the ground state and an atom in an excited state?
Atom in the ground state is stable but atom in excited state is not stable the main reason for this is their energies.Atoms in excited state has more energy so they undergo chemical reaction so they are not stable but atoms in ground state has less energy than the excited state so they dont undergo chemical reaction.
Why an excited atom is electrically neutral?

A hydrogen atom expands as it moves from its ground state to an excited state. This is because the electron in the excited state is farther away from the nucleus, increasing the average distance between the electron and proton in the atom.
What state is an atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level?
An atom in which an electron has moved to a higher energy level is in an excited state. This can happen when the electron absorbs energy from its surroundings, such as from light or heat. The electron will eventually return to its original energy level, releasing the absorbed energy as light.
The electron configuration for a Sulfur atom in the excited state?
The electron configuration of a sulfur atom in its ground state is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4. In an excited state, one of the electrons can be promoted to a higher energy level. For example, in an excited state, the electron configuration of a sulfur atom could be 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1 3p5.
An atom that has higher energy than normal is said to be what?
It is said to be excited.
What is the difference between a neutral atom an ion and an excited atom?
A neutral atom is an atom with an equal number of electrons and protons without any additional energy. An excited atom has electrons that have absorbed energy and moved up to another layer. Ions are atoms that have a different number of electrons from the neutral atom.
