Question

For each scenario, determine if the electron has absorbed energy or emitted energy,

An electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 1.
An electron jumps from n = 2 to n = 3.
An electron jumps from n = 1 to n = 2.
An electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 2.

Answer 1

1) emitted energy

2)absorbed energy

3)absorbed energy

4)emitted energy

Step-by-step explanation:

I just got it right

Answer 2

1. Emitted

2. Absorbed

3. Absorbed

4. Emitted

Step-by-step explanation:

• When an electron jumps to a level of higher energy there's energy absorption.

• When an electron jumps to a level of lower energy there's energy emission.

• The higher the n number, the higher the energy level.

With the above information in mind, it's just a matter of seeing if the initial n is higher or lower than the final n.
