Can an atom become excited by absorbing a photon of visible light?
Q. Can an atom become excited by absorbing a photon of visible light? I have read that LED's can be used to excite the hydrogen atom at a frequency of 1-65hz. If so, what wavelength (in NM's) would the led be and how far could it excite the hydrogen atom?
Asked by Brad K - Sat Jun 21 11:00:21 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. An atom can be excited by a photon if and only if that photon carries the correct amount of energy to kick the atom into a higher energy level. So look up the hydrogen spectrum (in particular, the Lyman series, the transitions involving the ground state) to see the energies/frequencies/wave lengths of light that will work. Of course, the energy of a photon is: E = h * frequency = h * speed of light / wavelength, where h is Planck'c constant.

Physics: How energy is there in one atom? Or is there a periodic table that shows it for each atom?
Q. This maybe sounds like a dumb question. I should say which atom, right? O, how much in 1 hydrogen atom and 1 lead atom, happy now? Usually when raeding a magazine article they quote in comparison to the A Bomb at Hiroshima for instance? Ok and I also mean TOTAL energy, not just what can/could be released by nuclear fusion/fission(?) I've been wondering this for years!

A. this question is for nuclear physics. the equation E = MC^2 comes to mind. the mass is in kilograms, the speed of light is in m/s, and energy is in Joules. however, i don't know exactly how this equation works because it's pretty complicated.

When a hydrogen atom absorbs a photon, what is it that causes the increase in energy?
Q. Just trying to find out, does the photon absorption cause the hydrogen atom's proton and neutron to be held together with a stronger force? If so what kind of force is it? Is it an electromagnetic force?
Asked by Brad K - Wed Jun 18 13:50:43 2008 - - 5 Answers - 2 Comments

A. Nothing happens per say in the nucleus. Taking the electron transitions associated with visible and ultraviolet interactions with matter as an example, absorption of a photon will occur only when the quantum energy of the photon precisely matches the energy gap between the initial and final states. In the interaction of radiation with matter, if there is no pair of energy states such that the photon energy can elevate the system from the lower to the upper state, then the matter will be transparent to that radiation. If an electron is already in an excited state (an upper energy level, in contrast to its lowest possible level or "ground state"), then an incoming photon for which the quantum energy is equal to the energy difference… [cont.]

What do you think about an atom compared with our solar system?
Q. The electrons in an atom looks similar to planets orbiting a star.In this case the nucleus is the sun. And if this would be as i say so would there be living beings in the electrons of an atom. Just as nuclear fusion in stars which is taking place to prevent gravity from destroying the star, there should be some kind of an energy change taking place inside the nucleus. Can someone in NASA or someone who knows advanced astronomy help me with this question.
Asked by buwan - Tue Nov 10 09:51:59 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, electrons behave nothing like planets, they only appear to if you draw out their path on paper. In fact, electrons are not particles in the strictest sense - They are particles and waves at the same time, and as such, they do not follow a simple circular path like on atomic models. Moreover, electron paths are almost never circular(The 1H hydrogen being an exception), but they assume a variety of trajectories(known as orbitals). Moreover, they do not follow a strict path, rather, the paths you can draw for electron movement only correspond to probabilities, meaning that electrons are most likely to be found there but can easily be found straying from their paths as well. Advanced astronomy isn't really necessary for a problem like… [cont.]

What are two different ways a carbon atom from a blade of grass could become a part of a cell in your ear?
Q. I have a theory: You're lying down on the grass and an ant crawls inside your ear. There is a carbon atom attached to the ant. Then the ant dies. Since there are no decomposeres, the ant just stays there. Slowly, the atom comes off the ant and goes into the ear. Any better suggestions?

A. Your teacher will not like your answer, I guarantee that. Try these: 1. The grass is eaten by a free-range dairy cow. The grass is chewed and digested by the cow, and the simple sugars from the grass are absorbed by the cow. They are broken down, and the carbon atom in question is built up by the cow's udder to become part of a fatty acid as part of a fat in its milk. The cow is milked. You drink whole milk, digest and absorb the fatty acids. The carbon atom, as part of a small fatty acid, proceeds through your circulatory system to your ear. It is absorbed by a cell in your ear, and incorporated into a membrane phospholipid molecule there. 2. The grass dries in late summer, and a brush fire sends the carbon atom into the air as… [cont.]

A. You will very well understand with the following paragraph. (Source at the bottom.) "The nucleus occupies only a tiny fraction of the volume of an atom (the radius of the nucleus being some 10,000 to 100,000 times smaller than the radius of the atom as a whole), but it contains almost all the mass. An idea of the extreme density of the nucleus is revealed by a simple calculation. The radius of the nucleus of hydrogen is on the order of 10-13 cm so that its volume is on the order of 10-39 cm3 (cubic centimeter); its mass is about 10-24 g (gram). Combining these to estimate the density, we have 10-24 g/10-39 cm3 approximately 1015 g/cm3, or about a thousand trillion times the density of matter at ordinary scales (the density of water is 1 g/ [cont.]

A. An electron is stripped away from the atom. this results in one more proton than electron and gives atom a positive charge. Electron could be stripped away if it was alone on its valence shell and hence atom would have easier time getting rid of electron than absorbing more to fill up shell. examples are sodium and potassium

Q. How do you know whether an atom is positively or negatively charged? Or neutral?
Asked by Layla - Wed Sep 2 22:18:40 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. An atom is neutral. However, atoms can turn into ions, which are charged. Generally, nonmetals turn into negative ions (they gain electrons) and metals turn into positive ions (they lose electrons) to create an ionic bond. Charges occur because of the fact that electrons are negative subatomic particles.
