Physics/Chemistry geniuses: ELECTONS and their ENEGY LEVELS!!?

Question

Okay, energy excites electrons... their energy level increases, so they move further away from the nucleus of the atom (protons and neutrons) - but when the energy excites them, how does it move to a new, further away, atomic orbital? does it all of the sudden "bounce" to the next sub-energy/primary enegy level? Does it slowly move? HELP!

FOR THOSE WHO ARE REMARKING about atomic orbitals, they DO EXSIST! I have my chemistry book right here!!! They are simply orbitals of places where electons have a high chance of being depending on THEIR ENEGY LEVELS - CHEESE

Answer 1

in simple: electrons go farther away from the middle the more electrons you add to them. just like 5 is far from 0, but 10 is farther from 0 because it has more numbers in it so its kinda the same. :)

and why they make a new level and go farther, is because lets say you and a bunch of friends are talking and some more friends come to talk... you have to spread farther apart to include more people in the group. like that.

Answer 2

The concept of the wave equation and the description of the orbitals are just mere "imaginative" descriptions of how electrons are "positioned" around the nucleus. The concepts of orbitals are just a way of describing how electrons are "floating" around the nucleus. It is a known fact that electrons that are closer to the nucleus would have more energy because they are drawn closer to the opposite (positive) charges; whereas, those electrons that are farther away from the nucleus will have less energy. Therefore, the electrons that are farther away from the nucleus has a tendency to be drawn towards atoms (elements) that are less stable and in the need of forming compounds.

Answer 3

You are assuming that physics somehow has something to do with the orbital model. While your inquiry across disciplines is a commendable line of thinking, it is wrong. The orbital model is not a physical structure. It has never been claimed to be anything more than a representative of an atom's reactive properties. Outside of the context of atomic reactions, the model holds no water (who knows, it might be correct, but we cannot verify it).

In terms of the question, electrons "bounce". The method of transition is not significant for our purposes.

P.S.
"FOR THOSE WHO ARE REMARKING about atomic orbitals, they DO EXSIST! I have my chemistry book right here!!! They are simply orbitals of places where electons have a high chance of being depending on THEIR ENEGY LEVELS - CHEESE"

- Just because it's written in a textbook does not make it true, man. By poking at the assumptions that you are making, I am hoping that you will be able to accept that while the models presented to you in class are consistent and useful, they are based on assumptions that are not 100% infalliable, and they are also simplified for high school students to understand.

I am not saying that orbitals do not exist. The orbital model is one that is both consistent and simple - it works as long as you remain in the context of atomic/molecular/chemical reactions. "Orbitals" are a nice way of explaining something that may be infinitely more complex, but by simplifying electron movement into simple things like orbits, we are also prone to conclude that things like newtonian motion and energy transfer also apply to electrons, which might in fact be false.

Say you are trying to explain the concept of colors to a blind man, who is unable to grasp the concept on a basic level. You might say that it is something like different types of sounds, but then that carries a whole bunch of implications with it as well. Can you tell the difference between colors with your eyes closed? Do colors get dimmer the farther you get from the source?

My hope is that you will be able to understand the textbook in the context of being "just a textbook" - as you pursue subjects through the university and the graduate level, you will begin to discover discrepancies in things that you've taken for granted for years.

also, i think you mean "Jeez", short for "Jesus".
Thou shalt not...? Whatever, enjoy.

Answer 4

The Schrodinger equation is a wave equation that describes atoms. This means that the electrons are waves, where they are located can be thought of as positions of constructive interference, the electron is not located in one specific place, it can be anywhere where there is this constructive interferece. When the energy is increased in the system, the range where it experinces constructive interference is changed, and now the electron is found somewhere in this new range, it is not a slow process. It takes place in the same amount of time as the absorption did.

Answer 5

Every element is equal. The use or the photosynthetic number that is established per recorder is the agent. The valence number of the dynamic solutions within interactive services shows that the square science is major to the shape of these planes, diagrams, orbittals, electronic balances making the present a science called prodisplacing powerfield. All places are
due to they can survive space, macro or micro and displace some void, or material not agent to interactions. This is similar to
gravity is spiralling.

Answer 6

This deals with quantum mechanics. Electrons can only have energy in small, discrete amounts, or quanta, so an electron can't have an energy between levels n=1 and n=2. So an electron must jump directly to its next energy level.

consistent with danger some WD 40 on the bottoms? yet spray and wipe if that would not paintings attempt some inserts consistent with danger which will decrease down on the friction. prepare strolling with a easy step? or you ought to ruin out in music as you stroll the halls to conceal the fart sounds. in case you haven't any longer worn them substitute them for yet another pair interior the comparable length and grace consistent with danger it somewhat is in basic terms a shoe specific affliction. good luck, I hate while that takes place by using fact it somewhat is getting a starting to be form of harder to discover delicate footwear.
