2

What determines the color of light an atom emits?

Required
2

What occurs when an electron moves to a higher energy level?

Required
2

Heated gaseous atoms of elements emit light in unique colored patterns as electrons drop from excited energy states to ground energy states. Heated hydrogen atoms have only four colored lines: red, green, blue, and violet. What prediction did Niels Bohr make about electrons based on this information?
