How Can Electrons Move to Higher Shell Levels Without Light Absorption?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the Kerr effect's potential influence on electron absorption and transmission, with participants expressing skepticism about its impact. The primary focus is on whether electrons can transition to higher energy shell levels without light-induced excitation. It is noted that methods other than light absorption, such as applying heat, can indeed promote electrons to higher orbitals. This highlights alternative mechanisms for electron excitation beyond photon interaction.

Can the Kerr effect have a effect on absorption, and transmission, of the electron.?
Also is there any way to make electrons move to higher shell levels, without the electrons getting excited by light, and moving to higher Shell's.
Or is light absorption the only way for electrons to move to higher orbitals.
I am grateful for your help, anything helps even a few words.

This is all still very new to me, but I don't think so ...

Like anything else, there are various ways of doing just this. Applying heat, for example, is one way.

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
