An electron in a hydrogen atom moves from level 1 to level 4. the electron then drops from level 4 to level 2. which statement describes the most likely result? the energy absorbed in the first move equals the energy released in the second move. the energy absorbed in the first move is greater than the energy released in the second move. the energy released in the first move equals the energy absorbed in the second move. the energy released in the first move is greater than the energy absorbed in the second move.

Answer is: The energy absorbed in the first move is greater than the energy released in the second move.

Electrons can jump from one energy level to another, absorbing or emitting electromagnetic radiation with a frequency ν (energy difference of the levels).

When electron jump from higher to lower energy level (shell), it emitting (releasing) energy.

When the electron changes from n=4 (fouth shell) to n=2 (second shell), the photons are emitted.

The correct answer is The energy absorbed in the first move is greater than the energy released in the second move.

An electron will absorb energy of a certain frequency to move from a lower energy state to a higher energy state. The energy absorbed will depend on how far apart the energy levels are. The more far apart the energy levels are , the bigger the energy that will be absorbed to make the transition.

Electrons emit energy when they move from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy released by the electron will depend on how far apart the energy levels are. The more far apart the energy levels are, the more bigger the energy that will be released during the transition.

When the electron moves from energy level 1 to energy level 4 it absorbs more energy than that which it releases when it falls from energy level 4 to energy level 2. This is because energy level 1 and energy level 4 are further apart than energy level 4 and energy level 2.
