What else can I help you with?
When an atom has extra energy you say that it is in what state?
This atom is in an excited state.
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.
Do atoms in the excited state have more electrons than in the ground state?
Yes, because an atom in an excited state will normally give off energy and go to a less-excited state or to its ground state. Some atoms have long-lived excited states and are called "metastable".
What is the difference between the ground state of an atom and excited state of an atom?
An atom is in its ground state when all the electrons in the atom occupy orbitals that result in the minimum chemical potential energy for the atom as a whole. An excited atom is one that stores (at least for a brief interval) additional chemical potential energy as a result of at least one of the electrons in it occupying an orbital with higher energy than the orbital(s) the electrons in the same atom would occupy in the ground state of 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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
When radiation is absorbed by a hydrogen electron the hydrogen atom changes its ground state to?
When a hydrogen electron absorbs radiation, it moves to an excited state. The electron jumps to a higher energy level, causing the hydrogen atom to change its ground state to an excited state.
Do atoms in the excited state have more electrons than in the ground state?
Yes, because an atom in an excited state will normally give off energy and go to a less-excited state or to its ground state. Some atoms have long-lived excited states and are called "metastable".

What is the lowest energy state of an unbonded atom called?
Excited State -_-
