Question

flame tests and gas lamps
lab purpose: identify an element based on the colors it produces.
different compounds can produce light when on fire or when electrocuted. electrons absorb this energy and
jump up to an excited energy state. their normal position in the bohr model is called the ground state, and
the energy level they jump to after absorbing energy is the excited state. when the electrons fall back to the
stable ground state, they release light matching the energy change. the color of the light shows the energy
difference in the excited and ground states.
electron absorbs energy and
moves to an
electron falls back to
and energy as a
photon of light

Explanation:

The first blank is filled with "excited state" as electrons move to an excited state after absorbing energy. The second blank is "ground state" since electrons fall back to the ground state. And when they fall back, they "release" energy as a photon of light.

Answer:

excited state; ground state; release
