Q. An electron present in an atom can move from a lower energy level to a level of higher energy by absorbing the appropriate energy.

Energy is ________ when an electron jumps from higher energy level to lower energy level.

Q. (a) As long as an electron revolves in a particular orbit, the electron does not lose its energy. Therefore, these orbits are called stationary orbits and the electrons are said to be in stationary energy states.
(b) Each orbit or shell is associated with a definite amount of energy. Hence these are also called energy levels.
(c) An electron jumps from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, by absorbing energy. It jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, by emitting energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
(d) Electrons move around the nucleus in specified circular paths called orbits or shells or energy levels and are designated as K, L, M, N shells respectively.
