When electrons in atom interaction with light or photons one of the two process takes place:
1) they can absorb photons of a characteristic wavelength (which depends on the energy difference between two interacting atomic levels) and get excited to a higher energy level
2) or they can jump to a lower energy level and emit photons of the corresponding wavelength.
The type of spectrum produced when electrons in an atom undergo transitions to various levels by absorbing or emitting photons is termed as atomic spectrum.
Answer:
Radon gas.
Explanation:
It forms naturally from the decay (breaking down) of radioactive elements, such as uranium, which are found in different amounts in soil and rock throughout the world. Radon gas in the soil and rock can move into the air and into underground water and surface water.
Answer:
It goes through a process called absorption. This is when an atom absorbs the energy from its surroundings. The electrons move from the ground state to the excited state because of this process. Once the atoms absorb energy, that affects the inner development when shifting to a new state of being.
Explanation:
The process that is known as absorption is when an atom absorbs energy from its surrounding racing it's energy level causing it to go into an excited state or highly-reactive state. When an atom goes through this process, electrons absorb the energy and raise to higher energy levels, therefore raising the stage of itself. This is how it gets into a excited state.
Answer:
Sodium (Na)
because it belongs to the first group of the periodic table. Therefore its properties are similar to that of lithium.
