Explanation:
The higher the excitation state, the more energy the electron contains. When an electron absorbs energy, it jumps to a higher orbital. An electron in an excited state can release energy and 'fall' to a lower state. When it does, the electron releases a photon of electromagnetic energy.

Hey
Answer:
When electrons are added to an atom, the increased negative charge puts stress on the electrons already there, causing energy to be released. When electrons are removed from an atom, that process requires energy to pull the electron away from the nucleus. Addition of an electron releases energy from the process.
Hope it helps
