Question

determining if an electron has absorbed or emitted enerfor each scenario, determine if the electron has absorbed energy or emitted energy.an electron jumps from $n=3$ to $n=1$.an electron jumps from $n=2$ to $n=3$.an electron jumps from $n=1$ to $n=2$.an electron jumps from $n=3$ to $n=2$.

Explanation:

Electrons in higher energy levels (higher $n$) have more energy. When an electron moves to a lower $n$ level, it releases excess energy (emits energy). When it moves to a higher $n$ level, it needs to gain energy (absorbs energy).

Answer:

1. An electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 1. Emitted energy
2. An electron jumps from n = 2 to n = 3. Absorbed energy
3. An electron jumps from n = 1 to n = 2. Absorbed energy
4. An electron jumps from n = 3 to n = 2. Emitted energy
