Problem
An electron in an excited energy level emits a photon and moves to a different orbit around the nucleus.
(1) Has the total energy of the electron increased or decreased?
(2) What has happened to the kinetic energy of the electron?
(3) What has happened to the electrical potential energy of the electron?
(4) Is its new orbit closer to the nucleus or further away from the nucleus?
