Question

Why electron absorbs different color and emits different color?

Answer 1

For atoms and regular lighting - whatever the atom - the absorbed light and the emitted light are the same....

In molecules, where two or more atoms share some of their electrons, the molecules can absorb light of one color and emit another color....

Answer 2

The color of the light emitted depends on the energies of the photons emitted, which are in turn are determined by the energies required to move electrons from one orbital to another. ... When the electron drops back, it must release the same exact amount energy that it absorbed.
