What happens when electrons change levels?

Question

help!

Answer 1

Emit/absorb photons.

Answer 2

They absorb or give up energy; sometimes in the form of light.

Answer 3

Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, but they can never have orbits with energies other than the allowed energy levels. But in order to move from one level to another they either absorb energy from light to jump to higher energy levels, or emits energy as light (photons) to jump to lower energy levels

Answer 4

Their orbit changes it's distance from the nucleus. Instantly.

If, indded, they actually do orbit the nucleus.

Answer 5

If they go to a higher energy level, they have to absorb a photon to do it.  If they go to a lower energy level, they will emit a photon.

Answer 6

Energy is given off or absorbed in the form of heat and light, usually.

Answer 7

When the electron changes its level , it jumps to a higher energy level by gaining sufficient energy to reach that high level.

The electron becomes unstable in this high energy level and soon lose its energy in the form of photons (light) and return to its original energy level to become stable
