Select the correct answer. which statement is true according to the quantum model of the atom? a. when an electron drops down from a high energy level to a lower one, light energy is emitted. b. when an electron jumps up from a low energy level to a higher one, light energy is emitted. c. every orbit around the nucleus of an atom is the same energy level. d. after they emit light, electrons are sucked into the nucleus of the atom.

The correct statement is option a, that is, when an electron drops down from a high energy level to a lower one, light energy is emitted.

Explanation:

The energy is quantized that is every orbit exhibits a fixed energy value. When the absorption of heat takes place by the atom, the electrons go from low energy level to the high level of energy. However, when energy or heat is discharged by the atom then the electrons travel from the level of high energy to the level of low energy. As a consequence, this heat is discharged in the form of visible light. Therefore, of the given statements, the accurate statement is that when an electron drops down from a high energy level to a lower energy level, the emission of light takes place.

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
