Question

As an electron in an atom moves from the ground state to the excited state, the electron...?

Answer 1

Absorbs energy

Step-by-step explanation:

As an electron in an atom moves from the ground state to the excited state, the electron absorbs energy.

Electrons moves around in permissible orbits around the nucleus of an atom.

• An electron in a certain energy level has a definite amount of energy associated with it at that level.
• When an electron in ground state absorbs energy, it moves to a higher energy level.
• When an electron in excited state loses energy, it moves to a lower energy level.

The transition of electrons from one level to another involves loss or gain of energy.
