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.

You are standing on a scale in an elevator Suddenly you notice your weight decreases What do you conclude?

If my weight decreases while standing on the scale in an elevator, it likely means that the elevator is accelerating downward. This decrease in weight is due to the elevator and myself accelerating at the same rate, creating a sensation of weightlessness.


Why is the electron affinity for clorine is greater than the electron affinity for iodine?

Generally electron affinity goes up as you go from left to right across the periodic table, and decreases as you go down a column. However, fluorine is an exception -- and the element with the highest electron affinity is chlorine.(Note that the most electronegative element is fluorine however; 'electronegativity' is not exactly the same as 'electron affinity'.)Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to draw bonding electrons to itselfElectron affinity is a measure of the energy change when an electron is added to a neutral atom to form a negative ion.The reason that the electron affinity is not as high as might otherwise be predicted for fluorine, is that it is an extremely small atom, and so it's electron density is very high. Adding an additional electron is therefore not quite as favorable as for an element like chlorine where the electron density is slightly lower (due to electron-electron repulsion between the added electron and the other electrons in the electron cloud).


How can you tell that you are absorbing radiant energy from the sun?

You can tell that you are absorbing radiant energy from the sun if you feel warmth on your skin or if you notice a change in your body temperature when exposed to sunlight. This is because the sun's energy is being converted into heat as it is absorbed by your body.


How do you tell if a guy is looking down your shirt?

If a guy is looking down your shirt, you may notice his gaze lingering in that area for extended periods or see his eyes shifting downward frequently. He may also appear uncomfortable, nervous, or avoid making direct eye contact with you. Trust your instincts and set boundaries if you feel uncomfortable.
