Question

The light emitted from a flame is produced when electrons in an excited state

Answer 1

The light emitted from a flame is produced when electrons in an excited state releases energy as they move to lower energy States.

Answer 2

Electrons in their ground state when excited absorb energy and move to higher energy states.
Absorption is when energy is absorbed by electrons and they move to a higher energy state
Emission is when electrons release that absorbed energy and move to a lower energy state
This release of energy results in emission of light from a flame
The correct answer is
Release energy as they move to lower energy states
