An electron moved from a lower energy level to a higher energy level. What most likely happened during the transition?

A random amount of light was released.

A fixed amount of energy was absorbed.

A fixed amount of energy was released.

A random amount of light was absorbed.

The correct answer is statement that a fixed amount of energy was absorbed.

Explanation:

In an atom, the electrons prevail in distinct energy levels. The electrons present in an atom are confined to a particular level of energy, which is located at different distances from the nucleus. The electrons, which are in the highest energy level are known as valence electrons. Inside every energy level lies a space volume where particular electrons are situated.

The energy is absorbed by the atom when an electron moves to a higher energy level from a lower energy level, and the energy is discharged when an electron moves to a lower energy level from a higher energy level in the form of light.

Amount of energy was released

Explanation:

Because when energy is release from the shell it makes the electron lose and than go to higher level of energy form
