What happens when electron jump from atom to atom?

When an electron jumps from one atom to another, it creates an electrical current. This movement of electrons is what we commonly refer to as electricity. The direction of the movement of these electrons determines the flow of the current.


Is an electron radiation?

Yes, electrons can emit radiation when they are accelerated or decelerated. This radiation is called bremsstrahlung, which occurs when electrons interact with matter and release energy in the form of X-rays.


Why do electrons jump when heated?

electrons jump energy levels becouse each level has a specific amount of energy needed inorder to be in that level. when an electron gets enough energy it jumps to the next level it can possible be in with that amount of energy.


What happens when static electricity is traveling from one object to another?

Electrons flow from high concentration to low, and the voltage fields equalize. It's almost unnoticeable unless the charge jumps an air gap ... where it will produce a spark, with light, heat, and a shocking sensation if a person is included in the path.


Why can electrons only absorb and emit certain wavelengths of?

Electrons in atoms can only absorb and emit specific wavelengths of light because of the quantized energy levels they can occupy. When an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to a higher energy level, and when it emits energy, it falls back to a lower energy level, releasing a photon of a specific energy and wavelength corresponding to the energy gap between the levels. This results in the emission or absorption of discrete, specific wavelengths of light.

What condition can an electron in a given orbit jump to another from the nucleus?

Electrons don't jump from the nucleus, because there are no electrons in the nucleus. They DO jump, or can jump from one orbit to another. If it jumps to a higher orbit, then energy must be added, and if it jumps, or falls to a lower orbit, energy is released.

What happens when an atom has more electrons than can fit in one energy level?

Answer this question… The extra electrons begin to fill the next energy level.


When an electron jumps from a higher to lower quantum what happens?

Energy excess is released. Lower levels have lower energy


What are the basic assumption of the Bohr model?

The basic assumptions of the Bohr model of the atom are that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed, quantized energy levels without emitting radiation, electrons can only exist in these specific energy levels, and that energy is absorbed or emitted when an electron jumps from one energy level to another.


Operation of led diode?

LED diode:when certain amount of voltage is applied to LED diode the electrons which are present in lower energy level jumps in to higher energy level after certain time the electrons in the higher energy level again jumps in to lower energy level .while jumping from higher energy level to lower energy level electrons emits energy in the form of light(visible or invisible)


When an electron jumps to a higher level is the atom is in ground state?

No, when an electron jumps to a higher energy level, the atom is said to be in an excited state. The ground state of an atom is when its electrons occupy the lowest possible energy levels.

What happens to electrons when pigments in photo-systems 2 absorb light?

Light or photons are little packets of energy. When this energy is absorbed by an electron it boots the electrons energy and the electron jumps to a higher orbital shell position (which must be vacant of its electron). The electron can only do this when the energy needed for the jump and the energy in the incoming photon match. Thus specific colours of light are absorbed depending on the element present.


How many electrons are in the second energy level of hydrogen?

Depends on the isotope can be 0 or 1 hydrogen is a highly unstable element that the electron Jumps betweent the two energy levels


What is the relationship between the light emitted by an atom in the energies of the electrons in the atom?

The more energy levels the electron jumps the more energy the emitted light will have. The more energy you have the shorter wavelength there is.


Is there any other energy state aside from the lowest energy state for an electron?

Yes, while nature will always try to place electrons in their lowest energy configuration, electrons can temporarily occupy higher energy states. When they fall back to the lowest energy state, the difference in energy is released as light - "a photon". Different colors of light reflect differing energy state jumps made by electrons.
