Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.

How do particle collisions transfer energy?
Charra [1.4K]
Conduction is a method of Heat transfer in solids by mutual vibration of the solid particles. The heat particle of one solid receives the heat, and transfer it to the next solid particle to it. This is as a result of the particles touching each other and by a little vibration of the particles.

A conductor is a material that allows the transfer of heat in this case. It could also allow the transfer of electrical current. Example Iron, Copper.

An insulator is a material that is poor in transfer heat or electric current from one point to another. Example is Wood.

Convection is a method of heat transfer in liquid or air medium, by the actual or bulk movement of the heated medium. E.g transfer of heat from hotter air to cooler air, transfer of heat from hotter region of boiling water to the cooler region which is at the surface.

Density is simply mass per unit volume.
Density = Mass / Volume,  It's SI Unit  =  Kg/m3.

Does density depend on temperature?

This is a bit tricky. For liquids we should say yes, there is appreciable difference in density. For example we know that water has maximum density of 1 g/cm3 at  4 degrees Celsius.

But for solids, the density is not affected much, except at very high temperatures.

So in summary we should say Density is affected by temperature, because we know that the volume of the material would be affected and hence the density is affected likewise.

Sorry, the solution came a little bit late.
