MCQ
When an electron jumps from its orbit to another orbit, energy is:
- AEmitted
- BAbsorbed
- CBoth 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
