Electron Energy | MCQs

Explanation

When an electron jumps from a higher to a lower energy level, it radiates energy in the form of light or photons.

This process is responsible for the emission spectra seen in atoms.

Explanation

Excitation energy is the energy needed for an electron to jump from its ground state to a higher energy level.

It is less than ionization energy, as the electron remains bound to the atom after excitation.

Explanation

In Bohr's model, electrons occupy specific energy levels around the nucleus.

When an electron moves from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, it absorbs energy

Conversely, when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits energy.

This energy is emitted as a photon of light with a specific wavelength, corresponding to a specific frequency.
