Question

The circles in the diagrams below represent energy levels in an atom, and the arrows show electron (blue dot) transitions from one energy level to another. (the spacing between circles represents differences in energy: a larger spacing means a greater difference in energy.) assuming that the transitions occur as photons are emitted, rank the atoms based on the photon energy, from highest to lowest. hints

Answer 1

Ranking of the atom from highest to lowest is as follows:
Highest
Arrow = from outer edge to center
2nd Highest
Arrow = second closest ring to the outer edge to center
3rd Highest
Arrow = middle circle to center
Lowest
Arrow = outer edge to middle circle
