1- Atoms absorb all wavelengths of light that incident on them a- True b- False
2- Atoms of different elements have different energy levels for electrons a- True b- False
1. ) False
Note- An atom changes from a ground state to an excited state by taking on energy from its surroundings in a process called absorption. The electron absorbs the energy and jumps to a higher energy level. ... Because the atom can only absorb specific amounts of energy, only certain wavelengths of light will be absorbed.
2.) True.
Note- Because different orbits have different energies and different elements have different orbits so whenever a quantum leap occurs, the energy possessed by the electron will be different for specific orbit around nucleus.
