What occurs after electrons return to their ground state?

[Tianle Zheng]

Hmmm, I'm not sure if this could answer your question, but electrons going to the ground state will not cause specific things. When an electron releases energy, it will transfer to a lower energy state, and gradually dropping toward its ground state. It would not emit any more energy as light during the ground state anymore, but it will still absorb light in order to move to higher energy levels.

When an electron returns to the ground state, it can no longer release energy but can absorb and move up the excited states again. Hope this helped!

[Brenda Tran 3C]

When an electron returns to its ground state, it releases energy and is thus able to absorb energy to move to a higher and excited state.

[Emily Wan 1l]

An electron is in the lowest energy arrangement when in the ground state and cannot be transferred to another orbital. As others have mentioned above, the ground-state electron can move to a higher energy level if enough energy is absorbed.

When an electron returns to its ground state, it releases energy. So it has the ability to absorb the energy again and move up to the excited state again.

[Joan Moci 1J]

When an electron goes from an excited state to the ground state, it emits a photon of light equal to the difference in energy from the electron moving down energy levels. Once the electron is in the ground state it tends to remain there as its the most stable state. The electron however can become excited again by a photon of light and move up energy levels.

Hello,
After an electron goes to ground state it has released all its energy and can now absorb energy!

[Mahika Saoji 3K]

Hi! When an electron goes to ground state, it releases energy (I think of it like the electron is "relaxing" so it is releasing energy :) ). Now, it has the ability to absorb energy and go back to an excited state if desired.

[sidneypalacios]

It is no longer able to release energy, but it can absorb and move up in energy states.

[Wenhan Li_3d]

The ground state electons need to obsorbs the energy to move up to the excited state and so when it falls back to the ground sate is release the energy.

[Ananya Sridharan]

When an electron returns to the ground state, it releases energy. It is also able to absorb more energy to become excited again and move up more energy levels.

[Marie Khijniak 2E]

Hi!
An electron’s ground state is the most energy-favorable state, as well as the state with the lowest energy requirement, When an electron returns to its ground state from its excited state, it can no longer release energy in the form of photons, but its electrons can once again absorb energy and move up to higher energy levels, from which electrons will once again drop to release the energy in the form of photons of certain wavelengths, depending from which and to which energy levels they are moving.

[Sofi Ghasemzadeh 2G]

When electrons return to their ground state, they release energy and are therefore able to absorb more energy and reach an excited state and move to higher energy levels.

[Marleena]

When an electron is at ground state, the photons were released. Therefore, the electron can now absorb energy and reach an excited state again.

[Madison Nguyen 3L]

When an electron returns to its ground state, it releases energy. Therefore, it gains the capacity to absorb the energy and move up to the excited state once more.

[Konmal Ali 1G]

Electrons go through continuous cycles in which they go back and forth from being in an excited to ground state. The process to return back to the ground state requires multiple steps in which the electron is able to release various wavelengths. Furthermore, electrons do not stay in their excited states for a prolonged period of time. To become excited, electrons absorb energy, thus to return to their ground state, they emit a photon of the same energy that was absorbed.
