When an electron returns to its resting state does it give out energy in the form of a photon?
Yes, when an electron returns to its resting state it can release energy in the form of a photon. This process is known as emission of light.
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.
What does an electron do when a photon is released by an atom?
When an electron releases a photon, it moves to a lower energy level within the atom. This process is known as an electron transition. The released photon carries the energy difference between the initial and final energy levels of the electron.
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, it emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of a photon. This process is known as atomic emission, and the energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the energy difference between the two electron states.
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.

Yes, when an electron returns to its resting state it can release energy in the form of a photon. This process is known as emission of light.

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.
Can you explain why an electron's energy increases when it absorbs a photon and also describe what happens to the photon in this process?
When an electron absorbs a photon, its energy increases because the photon transfers its energy to the electron. The photon ceases to exist as a discrete particle and its energy is absorbed by the electron, causing it to move to a higher energy level.
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.
If you make the electron jump downward then return it to the outer ring what do you notice about the photon released or absorbed?
When an electron jumps downward to a lower energy state in an atom, it releases energy in the form of a photon which is emitted. When the electron returns to the outer ring, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. The energy of the photon absorbed is equal to the energy of the photon released during the downward jump.
What happens when an electron returns to its lower energy level?
When an electron returns to its lower energy level, it emits a photon of specific energy corresponding to the energy difference between the higher and lower levels. This process is called emission, and it results in the electron losing energy and returning to a more stable state.
What must occur when an electron in an atom returns from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
When an electron in an atom returns from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, it emits a photon of light. This process is known as electron transition or de-excitation. The energy of the emitted photon is equal to the energy difference between the two electron energy states.
What does an electron do when a photon is released by an atom?
When an electron releases a photon, it moves to a lower energy level within the atom. This process is known as an electron transition. The released photon carries the energy difference between the initial and final energy levels of the electron.
If an electron is in an excited state it must lose energy when it falls to a lower state. What happens to the energy that is lost?
The energy that is lost when an electron falls to a lower state is emitted as a photon of light. This process is known as photon emission, and the energy of the emitted photon corresponds to the energy difference between the initial and final states of the electron.
How does an electron must move in order to release a photon of light?
An electron must move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level within an atom in order to release a photon of light. This process, known as electron transition, results in the emission of light energy in the form of a photon.
When sunlight excites electrons how do the electrons change?
Depending on the energy (frequency) of the specific photon hitting the electron, one of three events happens: nothing, the electron is excited, or the electron leaves the atom. If the energy of the photon very high, the electron can absorb the energy and escape the nucleus' pull. This is called ionization. If the energy of the photon lines up with the energy spacing in the atoms energy levels, the electron will move to a higher energy state, becoming excited. The electron then returns to its original energy level, releasing the energy as light. If the energy of the photon does not fall into one of these categories, the electron does not interact with it. In terms of actually changing the electron, it only changes in energy, not any other property.
When an electron drops to a lower energy level what is the energy of a photon released?
The energy of the photon is the same as the energy lost by the electron
