depends. Moving from an inner level to an outer level, the e- absorbs energy. Moving from an outer level to an inner level, the e- loses energy.

How is the energy of a electron related to the energy level it is in?

The electrons and energy level are inversely related. Electrons are positively charged while the energy level is negatively charged which will result into a direct effect in the energy level when electrons move. .


Which valence electron if further from the nucleus rubidium or strontium?

Rubidium has one valence electron in the 5th energy level, while strontium has two valence electrons in the 5th energy level. Since rubidium has only one valence electron compared to strontium's two, the valence electron in rubidium is further from the nucleus. This is due to the increasing number of electron shells as you move down a group in the periodic table.


What is the relationship between the period number and the energy level of the f-orbitals?

The number of each period correspond to the outermost energy level that contain electrons for elements in that period. Those in period 1 contain electron only in energy level 1 while those in period 2 contain electron in level 1 & 2. In period 3, electrons are found in level 1, 2, and 3 AN SO ON.....


Who stated an Electron Must Occupy The Lowest Available Energy Orbital?

While I am not sure who stated it, that's a general tendency in nature, and not just for electrons - i.e., for systems to go to the lowest possible energy level.


Will the electrons in the higher energy level comes near the nucleus while they are revolving in their own orbit?

No, electrons in higher energy levels do not come closer to the nucleus while orbiting. In Bohr's model, each energy level corresponds to a specific orbit or distance from the nucleus, and the electrons remain in those orbits without spiraling inward. Energy levels represent the average distance of the electron from the nucleus rather than a physical path.

What form of energy does an elevator have?

If it is above a chosen reference level (e.g., ground level), it has potential energy. While it is moving, it has kinetic energy.


If the first energy level is complete with two electrons then what has two elements?

If the first energy level is complete with two electrons, then the elements hydrogen and helium have two elements in their electron configuration. Hydrogen has one electron in its first energy level, while helium has two electrons filling its first energy level.

Size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's?

Size and shape of an electron cloud are most closely related to the electron's energy level and angular momentum. Electrons with higher energy levels tend to have larger electron clouds, while the shape is determined by the angular momentum quantum number.


Falling electrons are a source of energy?

Please note that, as with all potential energy, that a "falling" electron will provide energy, while "raising" them back to their previous level requires the same amount of energy. It's not really a source of energy, just a way to store small amounts of energy.Please note that, as with all potential energy, that a "falling" electron will provide energy, while "raising" them back to their previous level requires the same amount of energy.

Do sodium and chlorine have the same number of electron energy levels?

Yes, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) both have the same number of electron energy levels. In sodium, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has one. In chlorine, the first level has two, the second level has eight and the third level has seven. They both have three electron energy levels.


What are the difference between energy levels and energy states?

These terms are used to describe quantum particles like atoms. Energy level and energy state are used interchangeably, however, specifically energy level is used to describe physically where an electron is located in an atom and energy state describes the definite activity of the electron. Since the activity of an electron will dictate its location, this is where the terms become to mean nearly the same thing.


In what direction does an electron move when it enters a magnetic field while moving south?

When an electron enters a magnetic field while moving south, it will curve to the east or west, depending on the orientation of the magnetic field.


How bhor's theory violates uncertainity relation?

Remember that Bohr's theory on atomic structure was 1) only a model and 2) cannot truly violate anything, as it was only a model. However, the fundamental flaw in Bohr's model is the assumption that an electron of a certain energy level, or "shell", can only occupy that energy level (unless it jumps to another level, requiring energy). This essentially claims to know the relative position of that electron, while Heisenberg's uncertainty principle states that this is impossible. Rather, the electron cloud model is more commonly used today, which gives regions of probability in which it is most likely to find an electron of a given energy level.


How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an atom as it shares electron with hydrogen atoms as part of a water moplecule?

In a water molecule, oxygen shares electrons with hydrogen atoms to form covalent bonds. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level, while hydrogen has 1 electron in its outermost energy level. Oxygen shares one electron with each of the two hydrogen atoms, forming two covalent bonds.


What noble gas possesses 6 electrons in the 6th energy level?

No noble gas possesses 6 electrons in the 6th energy level. Noble gases have a stable electron configuration with a full valence shell. Helium has 2 electrons in its first and only energy level, while neon has 10 electrons in its second energy level.
