What else can I help you with?
Can you explain why an electron's energy increases when it absorbs a photon and also describe what happens to the photon in this process?
When an electron absorbs a photon, its energy increases because the photon transfers its energy to the electron. The photon ceases to exist as a discrete particle and its energy is absorbed by the electron, causing it to move to a higher energy level.
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.
What is the difference between emission and absorption in terms of what happens to an electron in an atom?
During emission, an electron in an atom transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, releasing a photon in the process. In absorption, an electron absorbs a photon and transitions from a lower energy level to a higher energy level within the atom.
What happens when a substance absorbs light?
When a substance absorbs light, the photons of light transfer energy to the substance's atoms or molecules. This can lead to an increase in the internal energy of the substance, causing changes such as heating, chemical reactions, or transitions between energy levels. The absorbed light can also excite electrons to higher energy levels or create new electron-hole pairs in semiconductors.
What happens when an electrons jumps from one energy level to another?
When an electron jumps from one energy level to another, it either absorbs or emits energy in the form of a photon. This process is called an electron transition and is responsible for the emission or absorption of light in atoms. The difference in energy between the initial and final energy levels determines the wavelength of the emitted or absorbed light.
What happens when a molecule absorbs ultraviolet radiation?
When oxygen absorbs UV, it breaks it down. That atom then reacts again with oxygen to form ozone.
What happens when something absorbs a high energy electron?
the absorbing material becomes unstable
What happens when an electron moves from a high energy level to a lower one?
It absorbs light

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.
When going up an energy level what happens?
When an electron moves up an energy level, it absorbs energy in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to jump to a higher energy level and become excited. The electron will eventually return to a lower energy level by emitting a photon of light.
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.
What happens to worn out cells?
When they die, your body absorbs it.
What happens when electrons 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.
What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
What happens to euglena when sunlight is not present?
it absorbs food from the environment
What happens in the first part of the small intestine?
it absorbs a product
