It must omit a photon of light to lower the excited electron to a lower state. It may require multiple emissions to lower one electron multiple steps or multiple emissions to lower multiple excited electrons. (Incidentally this is why we see a blue sky - excited O2 molecules are emitting blue photons to get back to a ground state)
What else can I help you with?
Why cant an atom in the ground state produce emission lines?
An atom in the ground state does not have any electrons excited to higher energy levels. Without these excited electrons transitioning back to lower energy levels, there is no emission of photons with specific wavelengths that correspond to emission lines.
When an atom is excited the electrons go up in energy level and then soon return to ground state emitting a photonif energy can not be related were physically does this photon come from?
The exciting of an electron takes in energy. The fall back to the ground state releases that energy as a photon. The photon is created by the return to the ground state.
What is the definition of excited state electron?
An atom will go into an excited state when the electrons are given extra energy. Then after the electrons have been excited it will eventually go back to ground state producing a light as it returns to its normal state.
Emissin of light from an atom occurs when an electron what?
Lots of wrong answers out there, tested this on school, the answer is: Drops from a higher to a lower energy level
Why electron jumps from ground state to exicted state?
An electron jumps from the ground state to an excited state when it absorbs energy, typically in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to move to a higher energy level, creating an excited state. When the electron later falls back to the ground state, it releases the absorbed energy in the form of a photon.
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
What is difference between a ground state electrons configuration and an excited state configuration?
In the ground state all the (only one for Hydrogen)) electrons is in the lowest stable orbit. If the electron gains energy (usually from a photon) it will orbit in a higher energy state (called excited).
How does an excited atom get to a ground state?
An excited atom can return to its ground state by releasing energy in the form of photons. This process is known as spontaneous emission. The released photons have lower energy than the original absorbed photons, causing the atom to transition back to a lower energy state, typically the ground state.
What must happen for an atom to go from an excited state to a ground state so color is seen?
An excited electron spontaneously drops back to its ground state, emitting a photon of light as it does so. <><><><><> The same thing happens in the nucleus. An excited nucleus drops down to a lower energy level, releasing a photon.
An atom absorbs energy as its electron?
An atom absorbs energy as its electron moves to a higher energy level, or an excited state. This process is known as excitation, and the absorbed energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states.
Why cant an atom in the ground state produce emission lines?
An atom in the ground state does not have any electrons excited to higher energy levels. Without these excited electrons transitioning back to lower energy levels, there is no emission of photons with specific wavelengths that correspond to emission lines.

When a molecule absorbs a photon one of the electron is raised in what state?
When a molecule absorbs a photon, an electron is raised from its ground state to an excited state. This leads to an increase in the electron's energy level, causing the molecule to become temporarily unstable before returning back to its ground state through various relaxation processes.
Whenever an excited hydrogen atom falls back from an excited state to its ground state it?
emits a photon with a specific energy corresponding to the difference in energy levels between the excited state and the ground state. This emitted photon can be in the form of visible light, ultraviolet light, or infrared light depending on the specific energy transition. This process is known as emission spectroscopy and is used to identify elements based on the unique energy levels of their electron configurations.
