Plank's then, says energy is emitted

Correct answer: D. discontinuous manner

  • A. In continuous manner
  • B. in the form of heat
  • C. Simultaneously
  • D. discontinuous manner

Explanation

Planck's quantum theory proposed that energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete packets called "quanta." This implies that energy is quantized and occurs in discrete amounts, rather than continuously. Therefore, the correct statement is that energy is emitted in a discontinuous manner according to Planck's theory

About Atomic Structure

Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
