Question

How does quantum theory explain the emission spectra of atoms

A. Electrons slowly gain energy in a continuous fashion

B. The movement of an electron between energy levels occurs gradually a small amount of energy are absorbed

C. Each motion of an electron between energy levels is associated with a single, specific amount of energy

D. Electrons absorb the energy they need to jump to a higher energy level from any light source above a minimum energy

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Each motion of an electron between energy levels is associated with a single, specific amount of energy
