The diagram shows Niels Bohr's model of an atom.

A small green circle labeled Proton is surrounded by 4 concentric circles. The space inside the first concentric circle is labeled N = 1; the space between the first and second circle is labeled N + = 2; between the second and third N = 3, and between the third and fourth N = 4. Oblong gray shapes labeled Electron appear on the second and third concentric circles.

What happens when the electron moves from the first energy level to the second energy level?

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Energy is released, and an emission line is produced.

Energy is absorbed by the atom.

Energy is lost from the atom.

Aydan Farmer · Answer 1

Energy is absorbed, and an emission line is produced.

Explanation:

Electrons are present and revolving continuously in the orbits that are present around the nucleus. The energy of electron are fixed and unable to move to other orbits due to the strong attractive force of the proton which is present in the nucleus of the atom. If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level to the second energy level, so the electron has to absorb enough energy which can overcome the attractive force of proton.
