    Thanks for this. But then for flame color test, do electrons who got excited to give certain colours of metals return to the ground state even when the heat energy is still not lost to allow them return?

    had a doubt as we know that there isn't one electron but multiple electrons and in real life ofc some of the electrons go to othere enegy levels while some go to another surely they all do not go in same and keeps revolving and the transfer keeps happenening so why do we see only a single colour like if a asubstance is blue it appears blue why doesn't it appear changing colours or having multiple colours that keeps changing like a fictional thing why doesn't it happen like why do they keep emitting a certain wavelenghts and not multiple ?? is there a theory or better explanation for this sir

    This video helped me understand why the color of light is different depending upon how much energy is transferred to (and subsequently released from) the electrons in an atom, but I still don't get why DIFFERENT atoms emit different colors of light. Why do different atoms release different amounts of energy? Is it because of the different amounts of electrons?

    • @blackdeath39muffin45
      @blackdeath39muffin45 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not fully certain, but speaking from intuition, maybe because the nucleus of each element has a different number of protons, hence the pull on the electron is weaker or stronger

    • @w.scottwomer2416
      @w.scottwomer2416 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The purple frequency is absorbed and then immediately emits the color purple that we see. The other colors didn't have the right frequency to fit or excite the the electron.

    I guess im stupid because i dont understand how this answers the question in the title… i understand why elements give off colours, but why do different elements give off different colours, if the colour of light emitted depends on the amount of energy an electron absorbs and releases rather than the electron itself?

    Every element has different gap between its energy levels soo how do I know if the electron has moved through many levels or the difference, between (for example between the 2nd and 3rd energy levels) is huge

  • @youtubeaccount0x073
    @youtubeaccount0x073 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    After it moved up in energy levels it runs out of energy, so then why when it moves back does it omit energy in the form of light?

    • @naughtyboy9135
      @naughtyboy9135 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes! And when the energy is released (in the form of light) the -e comes to ground state (it actual orbit)

    • @Josh-st6sx
      @Josh-st6sx 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Let's assume the electron had no energy in the first level, when it gains energy and moves up levels it wants to go back to zero because that's it's normal state, so in nature there are two ways electrons gove off energy once again which is in heat and in light. Which is why felt gives off light when it returns to the normal state. Sorry for being 5 months late lol

    • @Thedoublechamp
      @Thedoublechamp ปีที่แล้ว

      Because it doesn't have enough energy to move out of the orbit completely or to be stabilised in that orbital

      Speaking by intuition, maybe because different elements have atoms with different number of protons in the nucleus, hence stronger or weaker "pull" on the electrons

      It depends upon how much it can shift and how much energy it obtains and releases back.

    This theory makes no sense because frequency and energy have no correlation. think of it simply… you have a sound frequency, and you turn the volume up of that frequency… what happens ? It doesn’t change frequency, it increases in loudness AKA power. Frequency is a thing which is the rate of modulation of energy, not energy itself.

      An element is defined by an atom itself. So each element = atom. Molecular form is a different thing.

    What about reflection? Doesn't the colors come from atoms that reflected wavelenght?

    • @f.jideament
      @f.jideament 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can take sound as an example for this question I believe. If you send vibrations to a metal plate it's surface emits just a little bit of the energy and sends back the pressure to the opposite side, which means "reflecting". If you do the same on a sponge it will consume all the force and also maybe let this force to go out from the other side of itself. So the point is if the material and energy are not on the same frequency they will act like N/N or S/S magnets. They will push each other. And this is the reflection. I hope this helps you because that's my personal explanation.
