Question

An absorption spectrum is produced when electrons jump from A. Inter to our orbitalsB. Outer to inner orbitals C. Orbitals to the nucleus D. One atom to another

Answer 1

An absorption spectrum is formed when an electron jumps from the lower energy state to the higher energy state after absorbing energy from a photon. The outer orbitals have more energy. And the electrons in the inner orbitals have less energy.

Thus for the absorption spectrum to produce an electron needs to jump from inner orbitals to the outer orbitals.

Therefore the correct answer is option A.
