Atomic Emission Spectra
Electrons Release Energy in Fixed Amounts
- Electrons take in energy and move to HIGHER ENERGY LEVELS (excitation)
- When electrons drop from a higher energy level to a lower one, they release energy
- These energy levels have certain fixed values (discrete)
- Depending on how far the electrons fall, different frequency EM radiation is released
- If the frequency falls in the visible light spectrum, light will be emitted
- When electrons drop from a higher energy level to a lower one, they release energy
- Electrons take in energy and move to HIGHER ENERGY LEVELS (excitation)
