Question

16 ccc matter and energy each color of light has a specific amount of energy. a hydrogen atom will absorb and emit red, blue - green, blue, and violet light but not yellow or orange light. explain this phenomenon.

Explanation:

Electrons in a hydrogen atom can only transition between specific energy - levels. The energy differences between these levels correspond to the energies of red, blue - green, blue, and violet light. Since there are no electron transitions in a hydrogen atom that correspond to the energy of yellow or orange light, hydrogen does not absorb or emit these colors.

Answer:

Electrons in hydrogen can only make transitions between certain energy - levels with energy differences corresponding to red, blue - green, blue, and violet light, not yellow or orange light.
