An electron in an excited state, a higher energy orbital, drops back to a lower energy level usulayy the lowest possible (the ground state). The energy difference beween the two energy levels is emitted as light (photon) of a specific frequency which is given by the equation

E/h = v (v= frequency, E = energy, h = planks constant)

When electrons are raised to a higher energy level they?

When electrons are raised to a higher energy level, they absorb energy from an external source. This causes the electrons to move further away from the nucleus of the atom. The electrons can then release this absorbed energy in the form of light when they drop back down to their original energy level.


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


Do electrons release energy when they move to a higher energy level?

Yes, electrons release energy when they move to a lower energy level. When electrons absorb energy and move to a higher energy level, they are in an excited state. When they return to a lower energy level, they release energy in the form of light or heat.


Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first level or those in the second?

More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.


How does the electrons become excited?

Electrons become excited when they absorb energy, such as from heat, light, or electricity. This extra energy causes the electrons to move to a higher energy level away from the nucleus of an atom, creating an excited state.


Which electrons in oxygen have more energy those in the first energy level or in the second?

More energy have the electrons in the second level of energy.


Operation of led diode?

LED diode:when certain amount of voltage is applied to LED diode the electrons which are present in lower energy level jumps in to higher energy level after certain time the electrons in the higher energy level again jumps in to lower energy level .while jumping from higher energy level to lower energy level electrons emits energy in the form of light(visible or invisible)


Atoms may emit light energy when?

Atoms may emit light energy when they transition from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. This release of energy produces light of specific wavelengths, creating an emission spectrum unique to each element.


When electrons absorbs energy they exist for a short time at a higher energy level these electrons are said to be?

These electrons are called "excited".


When an atom has one or more electrons in higher energy levels?

An atom has multiple energy levels. When an atom has more electrons than it can fit into an energy level, then it puts them into the next higher energy level.


How are emissions of radiation from an atom explained by Bohrs model?

Electrons absorb energy to make electrons move from an lower energy level to a higher energy level. This energy is released as some form of e-m radiation when the electron moves from the higher level to a lower energy level.
