do second period elements show excitation of electrons?

Question

What do you think?

anonymous · Answer

i think  its no..

alphadxg · Answer

Well, second period elements would be for example Oxygen, which is very electronegative, so electronegative that it wants to fill up the last two electrons, (Fill electron spots then stable, stable = GOOD).
So what do you think.

alphadxg · Answer

If we take this even further,

Only elements that have all electrons filled in the shell are the noble gases, far right on the periodic table, they have all their electron shells filled, so do you think they would want more?

anonymous · Answer

noble gases wontbe requiring any more electron. and also oxygen wont be exciting its electron no?

alphadxg · Answer

It's yes, because most but 1 element wants more electrons, unless you have a better reason.

anonymous · Answer

yeah ..but excitation?

alphadxg · Answer

By absorbing energy from outside source the electron gets excited from the designated position in the orbit. The energy it absorbs to reach the excited state is given back when it reaches the normal position in the atom. 

Yes.. lol.
