Answer:
The discrete energy levels of an atom means the different energies by different electron paths. A hydrogen atom for instance has the energy 13.6eV for the electron path n = 1.
Explanation:
To jump from one energy level to a higher energy level the electron has to absorb light, meaning energy, it has to absorb a photon. It can not absorb part of a photon, therefore it can not have an in-between level, the levels are discrete, meaning there can be no in-between levels.
