Question

Which statement is true according to the quantum model of the atom? When an electron drops down from a high energy level to a lower one, light energy is emitted. When an electron jumps up from a low energy level to a higher one, light energy is emitted. Every orbit around the nucleus of an atom is the same energy level. After they emit light, electrons are sucked into the nucleus of the atom.

Answer 1

The correct statement is "When an electron drops down from a high energy level to a lower one, light energy is emitted."

In a quantum model of an atom, the term emission of energy refers to the situation when the electron jumps from a higher energy level to lower energy level.
