It depends on which state they fall from and in what element. The distance between the first and second energy level is large and all other jumps are even larger, also must questions involve Hydrogen. UV or X-Ray fro sure, probably X-Ray. To actually find out you will need to do the following.

When the electrons of an excited atom return to a lower energy state the energy emitted can result in the production of what?

When the electrons of an excited atom return to a lower energy state, the energy emitted can result in the production of light, in the form of photons. This process is known as emission spectroscopy and is used in various analytical techniques to identify elements or compounds based on their characteristic emission spectra.


When does light emitted from a flame produced when electrons are in an excited state?

Light emitted from a flame occurs when electrons in atoms or molecules absorb energy and move to an excited state. When these electrons return to their lower energy levels, they release energy in the form of light. This process is known as the emission of photons, which produces the characteristic colors of the flame. The specific wavelengths of light emitted depend on the elements present in the flame and their unique energy level transitions.


When electrons move from a high energy excited state to a low energy ground state. E Energy is absorbed by the atom?

No, energy is released by the atom when electrons move from a high energy excited state to a low energy ground state. This energy is emitted in the form of light or heat depending on the specific energy level transition. The difference in energy levels determines the wavelength of the light emitted.


Why do cations emit colors when heated in a Bunsen burner flame?

Transitions between electronic energy levels release electromagnetic radiation corresponding to the energy difference between the levels. The heat promotes the electrons to the higher level; when they drop back down to the lower level a specific color of light is emitted.


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

"Excited", or in an "excited state".

When excited electrons radiate energy the amount of energy given off is equal to?

The amount of energy given off by excited electrons when they radiate energy is equal to the difference in energy level between the initial and final states. This emitted energy is typically in the form of photons.


One indicator that electrons in atoms are limited to specific energy levels is that?

light emitted from excited atoms occurs only at specific wavelengths


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 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.


Why calcium turns to red in the flame test?

Because, due to the absorption of heat energy by the calcium atom in the flame. The electrons in the atom get promoted to a higher energy level, and exist in an unstable excited state. As they are unstable and prefer to be at their normal ground state, the extra energy that the electrons absorbed to be promoted in the first place is emitted in the form of a photon, light. The light emitted from the electrons of the calcium atoms will be at a specific wavelength, which is the red light you see emitted from the flame.

When excited electrons return to lower energy levels what is released?

When excited electrons return to lower energy levels, they release energy in the form of photons. This process is known as emission of light or fluorescence. The energy of the emitted photons corresponds to the energy difference between the higher and lower energy levels of the electrons.


Which subatomic particle is responsible for the flame test colors?

compounds are responsible for the production of the colored light?


Is energy emitted or absorbed when an electron moves from an excited state to a ground state?

Emitted, and the precise amount of energy that is emitted will depend on what kind of atom, and moving from which excited state. That's how spectrographs can determine what element is present.


Why do cations emit colors when heated in a Bunsen burner flame?

Transitions between electronic energy levels release electromagnetic radiation corresponding to the energy difference between the levels. The heat promotes the electrons to the higher level; when they drop back down to the lower level a specific color of light is emitted.
