According to the Bohr model what determines the color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another?
Let's start with a basic concept. The color of light is determined by its frequency. And higher frequency light has more energy than lower frequency light. As regards electrons shifting energy levels, when an electron wants to move to a lower energy level, it must radiate energy to do this. And the energy it radiates will be exactly the "right amount" for that electron to go to that lower energy leve. The greater the difference in the starting and finishing energy levels, the more energy the electron will have to radiate away. And this will determine what the energy of the photon will have to be. It will determine its frequency, and, therefore, its color.
Which color of light does the smallest energy drop of an electron produce?
The smallest energy drop of an electron produces red light. When an electron transitions to its lowest energy level, it emits a photon with the least energy, corresponding to the red wavelength of light.
Are atoms divided up into groups according to color?
No, atoms are not divided up into groups according to color. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are typically represented by symbols in the periodic table based on their chemical properties.
What has to happen before you can move to a new energy level in the electron cloud?
An electron must absorb or release a specific amount of energy, typically in the form of a photon, to move to a new energy level in the electron cloud. This process is known as electron excitation or de-excitation.
How did Bohr explain the line spectrum of hydrogen?
The difference in energy between the energy levels determines color of light emitted when an electron moves from one energy level to another.
Why does sodium give yellow color in the flame test?
Sodium gives a yellow color in the flame test because when it is heated, the electrons in the sodium atoms are excited to higher energy levels. When these electrons fall back to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, and for sodium atoms, this energy corresponds to a yellow color.
What does the electron gun do in a crt monitor?
electron gun just fires electrons with certain energy so that when the electrons strikes on the pixels of the screen then they glow up with certain color... this color is defined according to the energy of electron..i.e electrons with high energy will lit up blue &with low energy lit up red color. energy=frequency*plank's constant(n)...
Will an electron excite if it is given energy that will allow it to exist in between two energy levels?
Will an electron excite if it is given energy that will allow it to exist in between two energy levels? No An electron can only exist in specific energy levels. Giving an electron more energy can make it escape from the attraction of the protons completely and the atom now has 1 less electron and is a +1 ion. Have you seen an electron discharge tube? If I turn up the power, the tube will become brighter, but the color will not change. The color of light is the product of the electron returning from the excited state to its ground state.

What color is electricity?
Colorless ElectricityElectricity itself doesn't have a color. It a voltage and current created by magnets and coils. Electricity is a Electron potential (voltage - V) and/or Electron flow (current - I). Every thing out there is made out of Atoms, where the outside of any Atom is Electrons. When Electrons flow through a medium, it causes energy to be released by those Atoms in the medium, and some energy is lost from the Electrons. This is Electric Resistance (R). This energy is released as Photons [not Protons]. Photons are the light, Electromagnetic waves, the conjugate of Electrons. Photons are perpendicular to Electrons and have a wavelength. Photons have a colour and some Photons can be seen, if their wavelength is within the human vision. The wavelength of the Photons released depends on the Energy lost by the Electrons in flowing through that medium and the various characteristics of the atoms of the medium.
When a photon is emmit out from the atom its color is same as the atom color?
No. The color of the electron depends on the energy difference between the levels from/to which it is changing.
Why does metal change color when heated?
When metal is heated, its atoms vibrate more rapidly and absorb energy. This causes the electrons in the metal to move to higher energy levels, which can change the way they interact with light. This change in electron behavior can result in the metal appearing to change color as different wavelengths of light are reflected.
Why do different atoms produce different colors of light?
Atoms consist of neutrons, protons and electrons. The electrons form 'clouds' around the nuclei of atoms, and in general the nuclei consist of protons and neutrons. The electrons in the outer clouds have more energy than those in the inner clouds. When an electron 'falls' to a lower cloud it a packet of energy is released which might consist of light. Since the energy levels between the clouds vary between atoms the energies released when an electron falls vary from atom to atom. Frequency is equivalent to energy level, and frequency of light is equivalent to colour on the light spectrum.
The color of light emitted by an atom is most closely related to?
The color of light emitted by an atom is most closely related to the energy difference between the atomic energy levels involved in the transition. Each element has specific energy levels that determine the color of light it emits when an electron transitions between them. This relationship follows the principles of quantum mechanics.

Why do atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature?
Atoms of certain elements give off light of characteristic color when heated to high temperature since the electrons induce to absorb energy, jumps to the excited energy state called quantum jump and then returns to their ground state. The amount of energy in the photon determines its color.
Why white color is good reflector of light even it is mixture of seven colors?
it is more specifically the atoms that make up a chemical or pigment that will determine the color that we see. Each specific atom or combination of atoms has a specific frequency that it is allowed to emit or "reflect". When the photonic or light energy is absorbed by the atoms that make up the paint, the electron shells of those atoms expand. Each atom will eventually pull the electron shells back in where they belong into their original place. When that happens, a specific amount of the absorbed energy is emitted or released by the atom. That is the energy that we see. The atoms that make up paint that we view as a dark color such as black, keep more energy than they give back. That is why they heat up faster, they are holding onto more energy. The atoms that make up paint that we view as a light color such as white, give back more energy than they keep, this is why they feel cooler than darker colors and take longer to heat up. So the answer to the question is that the atoms in white paint give away most of the energy that they absorb and emit that back to our eye which then absorbs and processes the energy.
Why does sodium emit a yellow color when heated?
Im not 100% sure, but assuming we know that different colors are emitted according to energy level (which is related to which shell the electron is one) we can say that the reason Na emits a yellow color is because it's electron isn't on one of the outer shells (i.e 6th or 7th) therefore it emits a yellow light instead of a blue light (high energy) or red (low energy)
