When an electron changes its orbit from outer to inner level, energy is
Correct answer: C. Released
- A. No change
- B. Absorbed
- C. Released
- D. Remains constant
Explanation
When an electron jumps from an inner to outer shell, energy is absorbed while when it jumps from outer to inner shell energy is released.

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.
