What else can I help you with?
Does an electron absorb energy and make a transition to a higher energy orbital when the solution it is in is being heated?
Yes, when an electron absorbs energy (e.g., from heating the solution), it can transition to a higher energy orbital. This is because the extra energy provides the electron with the necessary boost to move to a higher energy state.
What happens when an electron in an atom absorbs energy?
When an electron in an atom absorbs a specific "Quantum" of energy, it will jump to the next specific energy level in the atom. It'll then jump back down, and in so doing releasing light and giving off a signature light spectrum for an element.
Why it is considered as the energy of an electron is quantised?
Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in specific orbitals, a specific distance from the nucleus of the atom. A specific quanta of energy will knock the electron into a higher orbital. When the electron falls back into the lower orbital, it will give off that same specific quanta of energy. That is why lasers work.
What is an alternative name for energy level?
An alternative name for energy level is electron shell or electron orbital.
What happens when an atom absorbs ultraviolet energy and an electron is involved?
When an atom absorbs ultraviolet energy and an electron is involved, the electron can move to a higher energy level or be ejected from the atom, leading to the atom becoming ionized or excited.
Does An electron moves from one orbit to another only when it absorbs or emits energy?
Yes, an electron moves from one orbit to another when it absorbs or emits energy. This process is known as electronic transitions. When an electron absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level, and when it emits energy, it moves to a lower energy level.
What is another name for the electron shell?
Orbital x ray
When an electron in the ground state absorbs energy what happens?
jumps to the a higher orbital. This is only possible if the energy it absorbed is large enough to let it jump the gap. If the energy is not large enough for the electron to jump that gap, the electron is forbidden to absorb any of that energy.

Is there any situation where an electron will have a charge not quantized ExOutside of an atom and if so what would happen if it had exess energy when it goes to an orbit?
The charge of an electron is always −1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulomb. If an electron is ejected from it's orbital the energy it absorbs is in the form of kinetic energy i.e. how fast it moves. If the electron goes back into an orbital it will only be allowed in an orbital that allows for it's energy. If an atom has an electron and that electron absorbs the energy from an incoming photon it may jump up to a higher orbital or it may be ejected. The ejected electron is the principle of the photo-electric effect.

What is auger effect?
When photons of sufficient energy are incident on a surface, an electron is ejected out from the core shell. The electron from the p-orbital or any other orbital of higher energy loses that much energy to fill up the gap created by the loss of this core electron. The energy lost by the p-orbital electron is absorbed by another electron in the same or higher shell, causing it to eject from the atom. This second atom is called the "Auger electron" and the effect is called Auger effect.
What is energy of electron when it is closest to the nucleus?
The energy level closest to the nucleus is the 1s orbital and can hold 2 electrons as do all s orbitals. Every electron orbital has a distinct shape and number. The 1s orbital has the same shape the 2s orbital and the 3s orbital and so forth. There are other orbital shapes such as p, d, and f. Regardless of the number or level of the orbital, all p orbitals are the same shape and all d orbitals are the same shape. Orbitals differ in distance from the nucleus and the distance is indicated by the number before the orbital shape.

What is an alternative name for energy level?

What is an electron feature characterized by specific energy?
Orbital
Which orbital electron has the highest energy?
I would think the s orbital, because it is closer to the nucleus, and because the outer energy level holds more energy than the inner ones.
