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 is the process in which an electron returns to a lower energy level and emits a photon?
This process is called "emission." When an electron transitions from a higher to a lower energy level within an atom, it releases a photon of light corresponding to the energy difference between the two levels. This emitted photon carries away the energy that the electron lost during the transition.
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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
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
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 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.
The light bearing packet of energy emitted by an electron is called a?
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
How can a photon be destroyed or created?
A photon can be created when an electron transitions to a lower energy level and emits a photon. Conversely, a photon can be absorbed and "destroyed" when it is absorbed by an electron, causing the electron to transition to a higher energy level.
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?
The energy of the electron decreased as it moved to a lower energy state, emitting a photon with a wavelength of 550 nm. This decrease in energy corresponds to the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states of the electron transition. The energy of the photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength, so a longer wavelength photon corresponds to lower energy.
