Why do electrons gain energy?

Chemistry

Novay_Z [31]3 years ago

Electrons can gain the energy it needs by absorbing light. If the electron jumps from the second energy level down to the first energy level, it must give off some energy by emitting light. The atom absorbs or emits light in discrete packets called photons, and each photon has a definite energy.

<u>☁️</u><u>My Answer☁️:</u>

Atomic electrons lose / gain energy when transferring from one orbital to another and hence emitting / absorbing a photon. Free electrons (by which I mean electrons that are not part of an atom) lose or gain energy by scattering inelastic ally with atoms or molecules. In this case, energy is transferred to / from the atom or molecule from / to the electron in the form of kinetic energy

If you take a part time job while you are still in school what might your opportunity scost be
yarga [219]

The opportunity costs of working part-time while attending high school could be studying time, grades, and your own free time. It depends on the person, how they do in school, but if it were for me, I would say the benefits outweigh the costs. I have enough time to study and still get good grades in school.
