When an electron releases energy, it can move to a lower energy level or transition to a different orbital within an atom. This movement can involve emitting a photon of light or transferring energy to another particle through collision. The electron does not move in a traditional sense like a particle traveling through space but rather changes its energy state within the atom.
An electron jumps from the ground state to an excited state when it absorbs energy, typically in the form of a photon. This causes the electron to move to a higher energy level, creating an excited state. When the electron later falls back to the ground state, it releases the absorbed energy in the form of a photon.
When an electron is excited, it absorbs a specific amount of energy to move to a higher energy state. When it returns to its ground state, it releases this absorbed energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The energy released is equal to the energy absorbed during excitation, following the principle of conservation of energy.
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
When you move an electron in an atom from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it is called an electron excitation. This process requires the electron to absorb energy to move to a higher energy state.
Electrons can move up or down in energy levels within an atom. When an electron gains energy, it can move to a higher energy level, and when it releases energy, it can move to a lower energy level or return to its original state. These energy changes are related to the absorption or emission of light.
When an electron gets excited, energy is absorbed to move the electron to a higher energy level. This absorbed energy gets released when the electron returns to its original energy level, emitting electromagnetic radiation such as light.

The energy released is equal to the energy absorbed during excitation, following the principle of conservation of energy.
The energy released by an electron as it returns to the ground state is equal to the difference in energy between its initial excited state and the ground state. This energy is typically released in the form of a photon with a specific wavelength determined by the energy difference.
The excited electron move up.
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
The amount of energy needed to move an electron from one energy level to another is known as the energy difference between the two levels. This energy difference is typically quantified in electron volts (eV) or joules.
When you move an electron in an atom from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it is called an electron excitation. This process requires the electron to absorb energy to move to a higher energy state.
Electrons move from one shell to another when they gain or lose energy, typically through interactions with external forces or particles. When an electron moves to a higher energy shell, it absorbs energy; when it moves to a lower energy shell, it releases energy in the form of a photon. This movement results in changes in the electron's position within the atom and can lead to the emission or absorption of light.
Electrons can move up or down in energy levels within an atom. When an electron gains energy, it can move to a higher energy level, and when it releases energy, it can move to a lower energy level or return to its original state. These energy changes are related to the absorption or emission of light.
When an electron releases a photon, it moves to a lower energy level within the atom. This process is known as an electron transition. The released photon carries the energy difference between the initial and final energy levels of the electron.
It releases the same amount of energy that it absorbed when it was excited to a higher energy state.
