Question 11

What happens in fluorescence?

Answer 11

Electron falls back to original orbital and releases heat/light

Question 12

What happens in resonance?

Answer 12

Pigments play hot potato, pass energy around

Question 13

What happens in Reduction/Oxidation?

Answer 13

Electron given to another molecule
