The parallel lines represents...

• energy levels of the atom
• energy levels of the electrons
• energy levels of the photons
• energy levels of the nucleus

Each element produces its own pattern of emission spectra lines because each element has its own distinct

• Speed of light

• Electron configuration

• Number of neutrons

• None of these

Look carefully at the picture. It shows an electron in the excited state on the left, and the electron returning to its ground state on the right. When the electron return to the ground state it emits a_______________________.

• blast of cold air

• electrostatic charge

• proton

• photon (light)
