Question

If an electron loses energy, what may happen to it?

It may move to a higher energy level.

It will never change location.

It may drop to a lower energy level.

Answer 1

When an electron gains energy, it moves into a higher energy level (shell) in an atom, which is farther from the nucleus. If enough energy is added, the electron may completely escape from the nucleus.

Answer 2

When an electron loses energy, it moves from a higher energy level farther from the nucleus to a lower energy level which is closer to the nucleus.

Answer 3
