Question

in the bohr model of the atom, electrons are arranged in fixed orbits called principal energy levels at increasing distances from the nucleus. under certain conditions, electrons can make transitions from one energy level to another. answer the following questions concerning electron transitions in atoms: a. when atoms absorb / emit (circle one) energy, electrons make transitions from low to high energy levels. b. when atoms absorb / emit (circle one) energy, electrons make transitions from high to low energy levels. c. when electrons are at their highest energy level it is called ____. d. when electrons are at their lowest energy level it is called ____.

Explanation:

In the Bohr model of the atom, electrons in fixed orbits have specific energy levels. When electrons transition from low - energy to high - energy levels, they absorb energy. When they transition from high - energy to low - energy levels, they emit energy. The highest energy level has electrons with the most energy and the lowest energy level has electrons with the least energy.

Answer:

a. absorb
b. emit
c. are at their highest energy level
d. are at their lowest energy level
