    Electron Energy
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of electron energy levels and their changes over time. It clarifies that while an electron's energy remains constant in certain stationary states, it can change when transitioning between energy levels, leading to the emission or absorption of quantized light spectra. The dialogue emphasizes that energy changes do occur and must be considered in the context of time, as electrons can indeed shift between different energy states. The conversation reflects a mix of confusion and clarification regarding the conditions under which electron energy is perceived to change.

Why does the energy of an electron does not change with time ?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Fact that I am answering your post is based on electrons changing their energies, both in my body, in my monitor, and in zillions of devices between you and me. So your question is either completely wrong, or it is incomplete (ie it doesn't state conditions in which the energy doesn't change).

It doesn't change with respect to time.But the energy does change when the electron moves from either lower to higher or higher to lower energy levels (stationary orbits).It leads to either emission or absorption of spectrum of colors.which are quantisied.

Sure it does. If it changes at all (and it does) it must change in time.

I have no idea what you are aiming at, sorry.

It's okay.Don't worry about it :smile:
I get too many stupid doubts as soon as I get to read about something.:biggrin:
 

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!!
