which energy transition may take place in the atom if its electron has absorbed a photon?
A community for students. Which energy transition may take place in the atom if its electron has absorbed a photon? A.n = 5 to n = 1 B.n = 3 to n = 2 C.n = 5 to n = 2 D.n = 1 to n = 3 E.n = 3 to n = 1 Help me!!! if the electron ABSORBS a photon, that means it must GAIN energy. when electrons RELEASE photons, they drop in energy, which is why we see colors in an emission test.
