The following describes the process of an atom emitting light. Place the steps in order.

Question 8 options:
Electrons are unstable and move from an higher energy state to a lower energy state.
Colors specific to each element can be observed and elements identified.
Energy is absorbed by electrons and excitation occurs.
Emission occurs in quantum amounts resulting in line spectra specific to each element.
Electrons move from the ground state to the excited state.
