When an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower one, it releases energy in the form of a photon of light. This photon has a specific wavelength and color determined by the energy difference between the two levels. This process is known as emission of light by electrons.

What do atoms of group 17 elments give off when they gain electrons?

Atoms of group 17 elements (halogens) give off energy in the form of light when they gain electrons. This process is known as electron capture, which releases energy as the electron moves to a lower energy level.

Things that give off light?

Things that give off light include incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent light tubes, LEDs, and the sun. Light is produced through various processes such as incandescence, fluorescence, phosphorescence, and bioluminescence. These sources emit electromagnetic radiation in the visible spectrum, allowing us to see and perceive our surroundings.

When light strikes electrons.do the electrons reflect the light back?

Not quite. Remember that electrons are part particles and part waves. Light is given off when an electron drops from one energy state to a lower one. In answer to a different question, and may be the one you ask, When light strikes a phosphor, the electrons in the phosphor absorb energy, and give it off some time later. This is Phosphorescence.
