MCQ
When an electron jumps from its orbit to another orbit, energy is:
- AEmitted
- BAbsorbed
- CBoth absorbed and emitted
- DDepends on the energy levels of the orbits
✓
Answer
- Depends on the energy levels of the orbits
Explanation:
When an electron jumps from lower energy level to higher energy level it absorbs energy and when it jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level it emits energy.
So whether the electron emits or absorbs energy depends on the energy levels of the orbit
