MCQ

When an electron jumps from its orbit to another orbit, energy is:

A
Emitted
B
Absorbed
C
Both absorbed and emitted
✓
Depends on the energy levels of the orbits

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

Depends on the energy levels of the orbits

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
