Question

What do you mean by saying that energy of an electron is quantized

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrons exist on specific energy levels and cannot exist in between them. When an electron moves to another energy level, it must release or absorb very specific amounts of energy. This is what quantized means: the amount of energy absorbed or released can only be specific quantities called quanta

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer of the given question is as follows-

• Energy of an electron is quantinized. This is so because the electrons can possess only specific individually separated values.

• Values between those quantinized values are allowed because of the quantinized orbits. So, quantum jumps generates distinct spectra in accordance with monitoring.

• Electrons exist on particular energy levels, they cannot exist in between. During the same time that an electron proceeds to further energy level, it should liberate or imbibe particular quantity of energy.

• This quantity of energy imbibed or liberated can only be particular qualities known as quanta.

• For example, Light is quantinized into packets of energy.
