evidence for electron shells

Question 1

emission line

Answer 1

when the electron release energy to drop to lower shells

Question 2

absorption line

Answer 2

when the electron gains energy to jump to higher shells

Question 3

electrons shells are not continuous because..

Answer 3

each electron jump is very specific and requires a specific amount of energy

Question 4

black lines in the absorption spectrums

Answer 4

represents the absorption of electrons jumping to higher shells

Question 5

coloured lines in an emission spectrum

Answer 5

represents the electrons losing energy and falling down to lower shells
