Flame Test & Electron Energy I can explain the production of visible light as a result of an electrons excited state Energy Level Diagram 2 e - s 8 e - s 18 e - s 32 e - s Ground state: All electrons in an atom have the lowest possible energies All electrons in an atom have the lowest possible energies Most stable Most stable Excited State: Electron(s) have absorbed energy & are in now in an higher energy orbital Electron(s) have absorbed energy & are in now in an higher energy orbital Very unstable Very unstable Electron Configuration Lithium Add Energy in the form of HEAT Lithium Excited State Lithium Electron returns to ground state Energy is given off as LIGHT Emission Spectrum Each element has a unique electron movement pattern Each element has a unique electron movement pattern Emission spectrum Emission spectrum As they move between energy levels, electrons absorb or emit specific amounts of energy As they move between energy levels, electrons absorb or emit specific amounts of energy Amount of energy corresponds to specific wavelengths (colors) of light.
