What atom's energy change is when an electron is added to an atom?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom is called the electron affinitybecause it measures the attraction, or affinity, of the atom for the added electron.
The ionization energy measures the energy changes associated with removing electrons from an atom to form positively charged ions.

∙ 12y agoHeat (form of energy) added to an atom will excite its eletrons.
Electrons in a low-energy fase move in a specific area around the nucleus/centre of the atom.
With the heat added, the electrons will move further away from the nucleus, which is called an excited fase.

∙ 7y agoIf you add heat energy to a substance, the energy of its particles increases. This can result:* In the particles moving faster (their kinetic energy increases), or
* In a change of phase - for example, from solid to liquid. In this case, the POTENTIAL energy of the particles increases.

What energy changes when a neutral atom gains an electron?
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
In many-electron atoms which quantum numbers specify the energy of an electron?
the quantum number n determines the energy of an electron in a hyrdogen atom.
What is the difference between an electron donor and electron acceptor?
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
What is the difference between excited hydrogen atom and any other atom?
Hydrogen atom = 1 proton 1 electron Hydrogen's 1 electron occupies the lowest energy level, 1s orbital. The atom is therefore in its "ground state". When a photon of correct frequency "collides" with a electron in hydrogen's 1s orbital the energy contained in the photon is transferred to the electron. The electron then gets added energy, so it is at a higher energy state. When it reaches this higher energy state the electron jumps to the next energy level and there it starts its new orbit. Hydrogen atom is now "excited" For any other atoms it is the same thing because all atoms can undergo excitation. The only difference between hydrogen's 1 electron and other atom's many electrons is WHICH ELECTRON will be "excited"
What are the Three examples of properties that are quantized at the scale of an electron?
Electrical charge is quantized. (negative in an electron, as an electron has exactly -1 fundamental unit of charge) The other two would be the energy levels in the atoms and the emitted energy.
What energy changes when a neutral atom gains an electron?
When an electron is acquired by a neutral atom, the energy change is called electron affinity. Neutral atoms with an s2p6 electron configuration in the highest energy level are best classified as gases.
What happens to the energy of a vibrating electron that does not collide with neighboring atoms?
The energy of a vibrating electron that does not collide with neighboring atoms has energy that is emitted as light. The energy will be radiated away.
In many-electron atoms which quantum numbers specify the energy of an electron?
the quantum number n determines the energy of an electron in a hyrdogen atom.
What is the difference between an electron donor and electron acceptor?
Donor atoms are atoms that donate electrons and have an extra pair of electrons in their orbital. Acceptor atoms are atoms that accept electrons and have a empty orbital to accommodate the extra electrons.
What is an electron in an atoms outer most energy level?
The electrons on the outtermost energy level of an atom is called a valence electron.
What atoms have two outer level electron?
Energy levels
How energy stored in molecules and atoms?
In atoms, whenever energy is supplied to it an electron or the required group of electrons traverses to higher level shells.
When sunlight excites electrons how do the electrons change?
Depending on the energy (frequency) of the specific photon hitting the electron, one of three events happens: nothing, the electron is excited, or the electron leaves the atom. If the energy of the photon very high, the electron can absorb the energy and escape the nucleus' pull. This is called ionization. If the energy of the photon lines up with the energy spacing in the atoms energy levels, the electron will move to a higher energy state, becoming excited. The electron then returns to its original energy level, releasing the energy as light. If the energy of the photon does not fall into one of these categories, the electron does not interact with it. In terms of actually changing the electron, it only changes in energy, not any other property.

Can a photon be oxidized by an electron from the valence shell of a molecule?
Photons are not oxidized. They are energy. A photon may be captured by an atom or molecule resulting in a change to the state of atoms.
Emission of light from an atoms occurs when an electron?
falls from a higher energy state to a lower energy state.
What kind of atoms are added in the construction of a diode?
Atoms are not added but rather the material (usually silicon) is doped with an impurity like germanium to either add an extra electron (n-material) or be missing an electron (p-material) in the outer valance shell.
