Quantum theory, of course.

The energy is released in discrete packets, or photons. A for instance would be an electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level realeasing on photon of a certain wavelength.

What processes do particles of matter absorb energy freezing and boili condensation and melting melting and vaporization or sublimation?

Particles of matter absorb energy during melting and vaporization processes, as these transitions involve the breaking of intermolecular forces that hold the particles together. During freezing and condensation processes, particles release energy as they form stronger bonds and lower their energy levels to create a more stable 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.


Does an ice cube in your drink release cold particles into your drink or absorb the heat from your drink?

it absorbs it. there is no such thing as cold energy, and even less so "cold particles," only heat flow.


How do electrons gain in energy in photosystem 1?

they absorb photons from sunlight


Light absorption requires the presence of?

molecules or particles that can absorb photons of light. These molecules have electrons that can be excited by the incoming photons, leading to the absorption of light. Without such molecules or particles, light would simply pass through without being absorbed.


Which particles do plants absorb to obtain energy?

Atoms


Do atoms absorb the same energy?

No, atoms do not absorb the same energy. The amount of energy an atom can absorb depends on its electronic structure and the specific energy levels of its electrons. Different atoms have different numbers of electrons and different energy level arrangements, so they will absorb and emit energy at different wavelengths and energies.


What particle in the heated compounds are responsible for the production of the colored light?

In heated compounds, electrons are the particles responsible for the production of colored light. When the compounds absorb energy and become excited, electrons jump to higher energy levels and then release the excess energy as photons of light when they return to their original energy levels. The wavelength of the emitted light determines the color observed.


When chlorophyll a molecules absorb energy the molecules?

Excite electrons and enter a higher energy state, triggering the process of photosynthesis. This results in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy that can be used by the plant.


How are gamma particles stopped?

Gamma particles can be stopped by dense materials such as lead or concrete. These materials absorb the energy of the gamma particles, reducing their penetrating ability. Thicker layers of these materials are required to fully absorb the gamma radiation.


What particles in the heated compounds and production of the colored light?

In heated compounds, the particles primarily involved in the production of colored light are electrons within atoms or molecules. When these electrons absorb energy from heat, they move to higher energy levels, becoming excited. As they return to their original energy levels, they release energy in the form of light, with the color of the light depending on the energy difference between the levels, resulting in various wavelengths that correspond to different colors. This phenomenon is commonly observed in flame tests and other heating processes.


Which processes do particles of matter absorb energy?

condensation and melting
