Does anybody know the energy shells eV for glass, and SOLID carbon? So is it known what energy levels for electrons in glass atoms are in eV to move to a higher shell level. Glass does not absorb any light, except UV. but what is the eV for the glass electron to get excited and leave the ground state, and move up to shell level 2, or energy band 2. Also when carbon electrons are in the ground state, how much eV from light or any other EM radiation does it take for the electron to jump to shell/ energy band 2, and to shell 3, up to the point where the electron would leave the atom.
Because silicone is made from glass, could you say the energy eV for silicone is the same as glass. Glass is also made from other elements too like sodium, and calcium, do you have to consider those elements too.
