The lowest energy state an atom can be at is called its ground state. When an electron in an atom has absorbed energy it is said to be in an excited state. An excited atom is unstable and tends to rearrange itself to return to its lowest energy state. When this happens, the electrons lose some or all of the excess energy by emitting light. Light is only emitted at certain frequencies, each corresponding to a particular electronic transition within the allowed states.

electrons emitting light so the electrons will be in ground state

Answer: Excited state

Explanation:

An electron in the lowest energy state is called as ground state and is also known as stable energy level.

An electron in the upper energy state is called as excited state and is also known as unstable energy level.

Quantized energy levels are those energy levels which have fixed value of energy.

Electron tries to remain in stable state, thus, if an electron is present in the excited state, it will loose energy to attain stable energy level.

Thus, the electrons are in excited state before this energy is released.

How much of a 400g sample remains after 4 years if a radioactive isotope has a half-life of 2 years?
timama [110]

Answer:

100 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 400 g

Time (t) = 4 years

Half-life (t½) = 2 years

Amount remaining (N) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) = 4 years

Half-life (t½) = 2 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t½

n = 4 / 2

n = 2

Thus, 2 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the amount remaining of the radioactive isotope. This can be obtained as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 400 g

Number of half-lives (n) = 2

Amount remaining (N) =?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2² × 400

N = 1/4 × 400

N = 0.25 × 400

N = 100 g

Thus, the amount of the radioactive isotope remaing is the 100 g.

How many electrons, protons, neutrons, and what is the atomic number and atomic mass (if any) does Fluoride have?
ExtremeBDS [4]
Fluoride is an anion of Fluorine

What this means is that the two have the same number of protons (9), but Fluoride has 10 electrons compared to Fluorine's 9.

So the answers are:
Protons - 9
Neutrons - 9
Electrons - 10
Atomic Number - 9
Atomic Mass - 19 g/mol

How do volcanos such as ojos del salado form?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Deep inside Earth, between the molten iron core and the thin crust at the surface, there is a solid body of rock called the mantle. When rock from the mantle melts, moves to the surface through the crust, and releases pent-up gases, volcanoes erupt.

Explanation: hot molten rock, ash, and gases escape from the volcano

A natural charge by an atom is caused by which of the following conditions?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you meant to type neutral charge.

Since electrons are negative and protons are positive, having a balanced number of both of these would cause an atom to have a neutral charge.
