nucleus=
SMALL/DENSE/ POSITIVE
_____ orbit the nucleus,
ELECTRONS
atom =
EMPTY SPACE
_____ are orbiting around the
nucleus, accelerating, releasing energy.
ELECTRONS
electrons can only exist in
SHELLS
An electron can exist at
SPECIFIC DISTANCES FROM NUCLEUS
An electron _____be in between
_____levels
CANNOT
ENERGY
The _____is naturally attracted towards
the _____of the atom.
ELECTRON
NUCLEUS
electron absorbs energy=
HIGHER ENERGY LEVEL
If an electron is at a higher energy level, we
say that the electron is
EXCITED STATE
When an electron releases energy, it jumps
to a _____
LOWER ENERGY LEVEL/ GROUND STATE
energy enters the atom=
ELECTRON CAN ABSORB ENERGY BEXOMING EXCITED AND JUMP HIGHER ENERGY LEVELS
When the electron releases the
energy =
ELECTRON RETURNS TO LOWER ENERGY LEVELS
