An electron present in the innermost orbital shell of an atom if absorbed energy and is kicked out in to
the outer higher-energy shell. What can happen?
Select one:
O a. the electron will come back down to the lower energy shell but will not release any type of energy (heat/light)
Ob. the electron will always remain in the higher energy shell to release radioactivity
Oc. the electron will always remain in the higher energy shell forever to release heat and light energy
Od. the electron will come back down to the lower energy shell and make the atom behave as an isotope
Oe. the electron can come back down to the lower energy shell releasing heat and light energy seen as bioluminescence

Answer: When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.

The electron can come back down to the lower energy shell releasing heat and light energy seen as bioluminescence.

According to the Bohr theory, atoms absorb energy and move from a lower to a higher energy level. The energy absorbed during this transition is equal to the difference in energy between the two levels.

This innermost shell is called the ground state of the atom while the higher energy level is called the excited state. Since atoms are unstable in the excited state, the atom quickly returns to the ground state, emitting energy in the form of heat and light in the process.
