Electrons in a hydrogen atom must be in one of the allowed energy levels. If an electron is in the first energy level, it must have exactly -13.6 eV of energy. If it is in the second energy level, it must have -3.4 eV of energy. An electron in a hydrogen atom cannot have -9 eV, -8 eV or any other value in between. Let's say the electron wants to jump from the first energy level, n = 1, to the second energy level n = 2. The second energy level has higher energy than the first, so to move from n = 1 to n = 2, the electron needs to gain energy.
Have students look at the periods (rows going across). Number of energy levels in each period The atoms in the first period have electrons in 1 energy level. The atoms in the second period have electrons in 2 energy levels. The atoms in the third period have electrons in 3 energy levels. The atoms in the fourth period have electrons in 4 energy levels. How the electrons fill in the energy levels. First energy level = 1, 2; Second energy level = 1, 2, 3, â¦8; Third energy level = 1, 2, 3, â¦8; Fourth energy level = 1, 2 Read more about the periodic table in the teacher background section. A certain number of electrons go into a level before the next level can have electrons in it. After the first energy level contains 2 electrons (helium), the next electrons go into the second energy level.
