Energy levels

Question 1

Excitation

Answer 1

Providing enough energy for an electron to move up to a shell further from the nucleus (up to a higher energy level

Question 2

Dexcitation

Answer 2

An electron loses it’s energy from excitation and emits it as a photon and falls back to an inner shell

Question 3

How are electrons excited with photons?

Answer 3

The electrons absorb photons which have the exact energy to move it to a higher energy

Question 4

Why do some substances fluoresce?

Answer 4

Elements absorb UV light and then, through de-excitation elements emit visible photons. The
