When an electron moves from a higher to a lower energy level, it releases a quantum of energy, which is what it had to absorb in order to make the jump in the first place. Thiâ¦s quantum of energy is often released in the form of a photon, which is a discrete amount of light of a certain wavelength.
The Bohr model for the atom, showing the nucleus and different levels that an electron can occupy. Click here for original source URL. As an electron drops to a lower energy level, it loses energy by emitting a photon. The photon's energy equals the difference in energy between its energy level and the one below it.Electrons in an atom can experience only certain, fixed changes in energy level. For instance, if an electron starts in level 3, it can drop only to level 2 or 1.f the electrons in an atom are in their lowest possible energy level, that atom cannot produce an emission line. This is because the electrons cannot drop to any lower energy level. An atom in which all electrons are in the lowest possible energy level is said to be in its ground state.
