I am pretty sure it's one because the highest is 7 and the farther away you are the lower the energy level!

What is the least electromagnetic atom?
hydrogen
How many atoms does hydrogen need for its energy level to be full?
One atom is needed to full the outer shell of a hydrogen atom, this is bacuse in GCSE terms electrom structure goes 2,8,8,2 and hydrogen only has one shell, so it would need 2 to complete this shell. This is the same for A-level however we refer to electron structure in spd, the electron structure of hydrogen then would be 1s1.
What do you call the energy involved when an atom loses an electron?
The amount of energy required to remove an electron form an at is the ionization energy.
What is ionization energy needed for?
There is an attraction of the nucleus for electrons. This attractive force must be overcome to remove an electron. The energy to overcome this attraction and remove an electron from the atom is 'ionization energy'.
How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?
In water molecules there are 2 atoms of hydrogen of and 1 atom of oxygen present. each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron with the oxygen atom. So the total number of electrons shared with oxygen are 2,total no. of electrons shared by hydrogen is 2 and the total no. of electrons shared by each hydrogen atom is 1.
How much energy is needed to completely remove an electron from n2 in a hydrogen atom?
How much energy is required to move the electron of the hydrogen atom from the 1s to the 2s orbital
What is the difference between excited hydrogen atom and any other atom?
Hydrogen atom = 1 proton 1 electron Hydrogen's 1 electron occupies the lowest energy level, 1s orbital. The atom is therefore in its "ground state". When a photon of correct frequency "collides" with a electron in hydrogen's 1s orbital the energy contained in the photon is transferred to the electron. The electron then gets added energy, so it is at a higher energy state. When it reaches this higher energy state the electron jumps to the next energy level and there it starts its new orbit. Hydrogen atom is now "excited" For any other atoms it is the same thing because all atoms can undergo excitation. The only difference between hydrogen's 1 electron and other atom's many electrons is WHICH ELECTRON will be "excited"
What is more- potential energy or kinetic energy of an electron in hydrogen atom?
Both are equal.
What happens to excess energy when the electron jumps from a higher energy orbit to a lower energy orbit in the hydrogen atom?
The electron emits a photon of light which we can see in a spectrograph as color. Four colors are normally seen in a hydrogen atom subjected to energy.
How many particles do you need for an atom?
At least two: 1 proton + 1 electron = Hydrogen atom
Can the electron in the ground state of hydrogen absorb a photon of energy 13.6eV and greater than 13.6eV?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
According the the Bohr model of an atom the single electron of a hydrogen atom circles the nucleus?
in specific energy levels -will
Is an electron in a hydrogen atom the same as an electron in a uranium atom?
yes
Who is lighter electron or hydrogen atom?
electron
What sub levels are contained in the hydrogen atoms first four energy levels?
The hydrogen atom has only one electron.
How many electrons fill the outer shell in hydrogen?
An energy level is the fixed amount of energy that a system described by quantum mechanics, such as a molecule, atom, electron, or nucleus, can have. There are no full energy levels in an atom of hydrogen. The first energy level of any atom can hold 2 electrons. Hydrogen only has one electron and it is in the first energy level.
What is the highest energy photon that can be absorbed by a ground-state hydrogen atom without causing ionization?
yes , the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom will absorb a photon of energy 13.6ev but not greater than 13.6 ev . because 13.6 ev is the energy which excites the hydrogen atom
