Electrons

[Yasmin Olvera 1D]

What does it mean when an electron is promoted?

[Chem_Mod]

For an electron to be promoted, it means that the electron is being excited and moved to the next higher orbital.

[Leah farhadi 1F]

This is where the basis of hybridization comes about, as when you draw the electron configuration for C it has 2 unpairs electrons, but it pairs with 4 electrons, so the electrons in the S shell are promoted to the SP^3 hybridization to get 4 unpaired electrons.

Means it is exciting.

[805373590]

electron is promoted when it absorbs a photon to jump from a low energy level orbital to a higher energy level orbital

[Patricia Cardenas]

It means its moving to a higher orbital level.

[Mariepahos4D]

an electron being promoted means that it is excited which means that it moves to a higher energy orbital

[Aarushi Solanki 4F]

Electron promotion occurs when an electron is excited (absorbs energy from a photon) and jumps to a higher energy level.

[005162902]

"promoted" is just another way of saying an electron has been excited to a new energy level!

[BCaballero_4F]

It means it is moving to the next orbital because it is excited.

[Kaitlyn Jang 1F]

Electron is excited and moves to the next orbital.

[Sreyes_1C]

to moves to the next higher energy orbital because it is excited

[Natalie C 1K]

this means that an electron is excited and moves to a higher energy level

[Astrid Lunde 1I]

It means the electron is exited
