Q. Which ion has the electronic configuration 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 in its ground state?

If you are referring to a neutral atom, then Vanadium (V) has that particular electron configuration.

Q. Why is ground state stable?

Ground state is the lowest level of energy in a particle, atom or molecule. If energy is added from outside, then the level of energy is increased, and the ground state is changed. Any other state is called an “excited state.” In ground state, an atom is stable, and does not give out electromagnetic radiation.

Q. Why do electrons fall back to ground state after absorbing a photon?

When properly stimulated, electrons in these materials move from a lower level of energy up to a higher level of energy and occupy a different orbital. Then, at some point, these higher energy electrons give up their “extra” energy in the form of a photon of light, and fall back down to their original energy level.

Q. What gets emitted when an electron relaxes from an excited state to the ground state?

When the electron transits from an excited state to its lower energy state, it will gice off the same amound of energy needed to raise to that level. This emitted energy is a photon.

Q. Why can’t free electrons absorb photons?

A free electron cannot absorb a photon as it is not possible to satisfy the energy and momentum conservation simultaneously. In Compton effect we have both electron and a photon as the final product and it is then possible to conserved energy and momentum.

Q. Why can’t an electron emit a single photon?

They are tightly controlled by an oscillating magnetic field, so that they emit coherent radiation. An electron can’t absorb a photon all by itself, because you can’t get conservation of energy and momentum with the electron alone.

Q. Do electrons have rest mass?

The electron has extremely small mass — it’s almost 2000 times less massive than the proton — at approximately 9.10956 x 10 -31 kilogram (kg) or 9.10956 x 10 -28 gram (g). Every known electron at rest has the same mass as every other known electron at rest.

Q. How does a photon transfer energy?

The photon transfers a portion of its energy to the electron (assumed to be initially at rest), which is then known as a recoil electron, or a Compton electron. All angles of scattering are possible. The energy transferred to the electron can vary from zero to a large fraction of the gamma-ray energy.

Q. Is a photon a real particle?

The photon (Greek: φῶς, phōs, light) is a type of elementary particle. It is the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light and radio waves, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force.

Q. Can a quark absorb a photon?

Yes, quark-antiquark annihilation can produce photons (though with lower probability than gluons) and quark-quark and quark-antiquark scattering can be mediated by photon exchange. Quarks are electrically charged which is enough to tell you they interact with photons.

Q. Do quarks emit light?

Yes, quarks are electrically charged, thus they do interact with photons. You need a rather hard (high energy) photon to observe that, because quarks never live in isolation, they always appear in pairs, or larger groups.
