Will an electron release energy when it is added into an atom for which electron affinity value is negative (endothermic)?
According to my understanding, when an electron is added into an atom, it emits energy in the form of photons because it is a form of de-excitation or relaxation. This is when electron affinity will ...

Can inner electrons get excited? Can an already excited electron get excited again without first dropping to a lower energy level?
Is it only the valence electrons that can get excited or can the inner electrons get excited too?
Plus, say for example can a electron of a hydrogen atom go from n=2 to n=3 without first returning to ...

How is energy conserved in spontaneous emission?
I was reading through the section on spontaneous emission in Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd Ed.) by Griffiths. In section 9.2.2 he explained that spontaneous emission is really a stimulated ...

Why is the energy expressed in an electron orbital change of state electromagnetic (photon)? [closed]
As I understand it, Schrodinger's wave equation predicts the allowable energy states an electron can have under the electromagnetic forces of a given nucleus (and I assume other 'orbital' electrons). ...
