Electron Transition
Can electrons move between energy levels?If so, how?
How are transition and light related?
Which energy level is present?
n = 2 n = 2 n = 3
Electron Transition• Electrons require energy to move between levels • e- in 1st orbital is held closer to nucleus and has
lower energy (ground state)• e- in 5th orbital is further from nucleus and has high
energy (excited state)• e- CAN MOVE between shells by absorbing or
releasing energy, called e- transition
Electron Transition
ELECTRON TRANSITION occurs as:
electron absorbs energy and moves away from nucleus
- called excited state
electron emits energy and moves towards nucleus
- called ground state
