What state does an electron move to its ground state from in a gaseous atom in order for a photon to be emitted?

In a transition to ground state, a photon is radiated away. It carries off the energy to make a transition to ground state possible. As soon as it is created, the photon is off to the races. It travels away at the speed of light (for the medium in which it is moving).

When an electron in atom changes energy states a photon is emitted If the photon has a wavelength of 550 nm how did the energy of the electron change?
electron lost 3.6 x 10-19 -barbie=]
When an electron drops from level 5 to level 1 a photon is emitted in what region?
Ultraviolet
Whenever an excited hydrogen atom falls back from an excited state to its ground state it?
The answer is (B) Emits a Photon of Radiation.
What is the amount of energy released by an electron as it returned to ground state?
An excited electron releases a photon as it returns to ground state.
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.
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
When an electron drops from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?
A photon is emitted when an electron falls from a higher to lower orbital. A photon is an elementary particles, the quantum of light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation.
What does the electron produce when they change energy levels?
a photon is emitted or absorbed

What is L E D?
They are specialized diodes. When an electron jumps the "forbidden zone" , a photon is emitted.
Matter tends to exist in its what energy state?
Matter tends to exist in its energy ground state. Both the nucleus and the electron cloud have energy states, representing different levels of excitation. The tendency is to return to ground or lowest state, and when that happens, a photon is emitted with charge representing the energy transition. When the photon comes from the nucleus, it is a gamma ray; when the photon comes from the electron cloud, it is an x-ray.
What type of particles is released during beta decay?
In beta- decay, an electron and an electron antineutrino is emitted. In beta+ decay, a positron and an electron neutrino is emitted. In both types of decay, if the nucleus is left in an excited state, when it comes back down to ground state, it emits a photon in the form of a gamma ray. In beta+ decay that is precipitated by K Capture, the electron cloud is left in a multi level excited state, and it has one or (usually) more drops in energy as it returns to ground state, each drop emitting a photon in the form of an x-ray.

The answer is (B) Emits a Photon of Radiation.
What is the amount of energy released by an electron as it returned to ground state?
An excited electron releases a photon as it returns to ground state.
What happens when an electron return to its ground state?
Energy must be emitted for an electron to return to the ground state. This energy typically occurs in the form of a photon--a particle/wavelet of light. Flourescent bulbs, for example, conduct a current through a gas knocking electrons into higher, more exicted orbits. As the electrons decay into lower orbits, light is emitted, producing the flourescent glow.
What causes photons to be emitted from excited atoms?
The energy difference, between two energy levels, is emitted as a photon, when the electron "falls down" to a lower energy level.
