Question: What is the phenomenon called when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level in an atom?

Options:

  1. Ionization
  2. Excitation
  3. Emission
  4. Absorption

Correct Answer: Emission

Solution: 

When an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it releases energy in the form of a photon, a process known as emission.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the phenomenon called when an electron transitions from a higher energy level to a lower energy level in an atom?
Correct Answer: Emission
  • Step 1: Understand that electrons in an atom can exist at different energy levels.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a higher energy level means the electron has more energy.
  • Step 3: Know that when an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it loses energy.
  • Step 4: Learn that the energy lost by the electron is released in the form of light, called a photon.
  • Step 5: This process of releasing energy when moving to a lower energy level is called emission.
