What else can I help you with?
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 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.
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.
What does the electron produce when they change energy levels?
When electrons change energy levels, they emit light or energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This emitted light can have specific frequencies or colors, depending on the difference in energy levels that the electron undergoes.
What is the energy in cm-1 of the photon emitted during the transition of an electron in a hydrogen atom from the n3 to n2 energy level?
The energy of the photon emitted during the transition of an electron in a hydrogen atom from the n3 to n2 energy level is approximately 364.5 cm-1.

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.
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.
What is the source of an emitted photon?
An emitted photon is typically generated when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level within an atom or molecule. This transition releases energy in the form of a photon.
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.
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.
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.
What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
The highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization is the photon energy equivalent to the ionization energy of hydrogen, which is approximately 13.6 electron volts. This is the energy required to completely remove the electron from the atom. Any photon with higher energy would cause ionization of the hydrogen atom.
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.
When an electron drops from level 5 to level 1 a photon is emitted in what region?
When an electron drops from level 5 to level 1, a photon is emitted in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The energy released corresponds to the energy difference between the two electron levels, which is characteristic of ultraviolet light.
What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?
The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.
