Regents Chemistry

In an atom, an orbital represents

• the most probably location of a proton

• the most probable location of an electron

• the least probably location of a neutron

• photons emitted as electrons move to lower energy levels

During a flame test, sodium chloride produces an intense yellow flame. This yellow color is produced when electrons in excited atoms

• are gained by the atoms

• are lost by the atoms

• move to higher energy states within the atoms

• move to lower energy states within the atoms
