When an atom returns to its ground state what happens to the excess energy of the atom?
it is released (emitted) as part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Which of the following correctly explains how energy is emitted when an atom returns to the ground state?
There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You did not provide the list of "the following". In general, however, if it is the nucleus that returns to ground state, then gamma ray emission is the mechanism. It it is the electron cloud the returns to ground state, then x-ray emission is the mechanism. The end result is the same - a photon is emitted with a certain energy - only the mechanism differs.
When a electron returns to its stable or ground state is emits?
When an electron returns to its stable or ground state, it emits a photon of light. This process is known as emission and is responsible for various forms of light emission including fluorescence, phosphorescence, and luminescence. The energy of the emitted photon is equivalent to the energy difference between the higher energy state and the lower stable state of the electron.
When electrons move from a high energy excited state to a low energy ground state. E Energy is absorbed by the atom?
No, energy is released by the atom when electrons move from a high energy excited state to a low energy ground state. This energy is emitted in the form of light or heat depending on the specific energy level transition. The difference in energy levels determines the wavelength of the light emitted.
What is the difference between emitted light and exciting light?
excited light is the light a chemical absorbs raising it from it's ground state to an excited state. Energy is released as heat and as light. Causes flourescence when chemical returns itself to its ground state. emitted light is the light emitted from the absorbing chemical. When this happens a substance(usually an organic) is emitting a light of longer wavelength after absorbing light of a shorter wavelength.

What is the amount of energy released by an electron as it returned to ground state?
The energy released by an electron as it returns to the ground state is equal to the difference in energy between its initial excited state and the ground state. This energy is typically released in the form of a photon with a specific wavelength determined by the energy difference.
Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?
Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.
Why do electrons emit light when they fall down to their ground state?
When electrons fall down to their ground state, they release energy in the form of photons of light. This is because the energy difference between the higher energy state the electron was in and the ground state is emitted as light. The wavelength of the light emitted depends on the specific energy difference between the two states.
When electrons move from a high energy excited state to a low energy ground state. E Energy is absorbed by the atom?
No, energy is released by the atom when electrons move from a high energy excited state to a low energy ground state. This energy is emitted in the form of light or heat depending on the specific energy level transition. The difference in energy levels determines the wavelength of the light emitted.
When one electron moves from the 4th shell to the 2nd shell in hydrogen is energy absorbed or emitted by the atom?
The energy is absorbed by the electrons because work needs to be done on the electrons to raise them to an excited state. Energy is stored in the electrons while they are in their excited state and would emit energy if they returned to their ground state.
What is the difference between emitted light and exciting light?
excited light is the light a chemical absorbs raising it from it's ground state to an excited state. Energy is released as heat and as light. Causes flourescence when chemical returns itself to its ground state. emitted light is the light emitted from the absorbing chemical. When this happens a substance(usually an organic) is emitting a light of longer wavelength after absorbing light of a shorter wavelength.
What can be said of the amount of energy that an electron absorbs when it is excited compared to the amount of energy that it releases when it returns to ground state?
When an electron is excited, it absorbs a specific amount of energy to move to a higher energy state. When it returns to its ground state, it releases this absorbed energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy released is equal to the energy absorbed during excitation, following the principle of conservation of energy.
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of an excited electron to its ground state?
What form of energy emission accompanies the return of excited electrons to the ground state?
