What happens when an electron in a higher electron cloud drops to a lower energy cloud?

Answer 1

It gains energy in a quantized amount

Answer 2

When an electron finds itself in a situation where it falls to a lower energy level, the electron then forces itself to release energy and many times light is omitted. Any energy any light emitted is equal to the difference in energy between two energy levels.

Answer 3

Its energy level increases, it becomes more excited, and it moves more quickly. As an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, energy is released and a specific color of light is emitted for each element.

Answer 4

When an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level, it releases a quantum of energy, which is what it had to absorb in order to make the jump in the first place. This quantum of energy is often released in the form of a photon, which is a discrete amount of light of a certain wavelength. Billions and billions of photons can be visible to the eye, and this is how things like glow sticks and neon lights work.

Answer 5

give off different amounts of light energy

Answer 6

It gives off an amount of energy equal to the difference between the two levels. This energy release is in the form of a photon.

Answer 7

when an electron move to lower energy level from higher energy level than it release energy in the form of light and some amount of heat.

Answer 8

Energy is released

Answer 9

It emits a photon.
