exciting electrons

[705340227]

Does our knowledge about how electrons are excited to a higher energy level by a photon of light play into anything we have learned later this quarter?

[Sahiti Annadata 3D]

Other than the photoelectric effect and atomic spectra, it does not really apply to anything else.

[Siwa Hwang 3G]

No since the topics that we’re learning now (Acid&Bases, Bonds) deals with transfer of electrons between atoms and not exciting electrons.

The photoelectric effect was focused on electrons emitting from metals, but there could be a correlation with the structure of the metals (with different alloys and so on) which can have an effect on the amount of electron emission. It's a stretch, though.
