Question

For an atom, classify these electron transitions between different rungs according to whether they absorb or emit light. 1 3: 3 2" if all the rungs of the "electron ladder" were equally spaced, which transition absorbs/emits light of the greatest energy?

Explanation / Answer

3-->6 : absorbs energy 1--> 3 : absorbs energy 3-->2 : emits energy 2-->1: emits energy. Explanation : Electrons absorbs energy and raise to higher energy levels and emission energy by shifting to lower energy levels. If all the Electron ladders rungs are equally spaced, then 3-6 will absorb greatest energy than 1-3 because at 3 electron would already have greater energy and gain more to reach 6th level. 3-2 will emit greater energy as energy at 3 will be higher than at 2 in 2-1.
