An atom's emission of light with a specific amount of energy confirms that

atoms must have a dense central mass surrounded by electrons at a distance.

electrons emit and absorb energy based on their position around the nucleus.

electrons can only be found within predicted areas surrounding the nucleus.

atoms are made of positive and negative charges.

Alejandra Stevens · Answer 1

An atom’s emission of light with a specific amount of energy confirms that electrons emit and absorb energy based on their position around the nucleus.

The light emitted from an electron is a result of the electron's quantum jumps/leaps (atomic electron transitions) to and from different energy levels.
