On absorbing energy, an electron moves to an excited state (unstable state) from its ground state (stable state).  Since the electron is in unstable state so it tends to rearrange itself to return to its lowest energy state.  On returning to lowest energy state which is stable, it releases energy in the form of light.

Hence, option A that is the electron releases energy in the form of light on falling to lower energy state from excite state.

Ann [662]

Answer:

when 3-phenylpropanoic, PhCH₂CH₂COOH , is treated with NaOH, H₂0 it produce sodium salt of 3 - phenylpropanoic acid with water as a major product.

Explanation:

Carboxylic acid when treated with a base like NaOH or KOH gives carboxylate ion because H⁺ from acid reacts with OH⁻ from base gives H₂0 and salt of sodium carboxylate.
