Fugu, also known as puffer fish, is a sushi delicacy that can also be lethal. Puffer fish contain a powerful toxin that can kill

an adult a few hours after ingestion. Sushi chefs who prepare fugu must be specially trained because any contamination of the toxin-free areas of the fish can be deadly. Recently this toxin has been put to good use, as scientists have discovered that a purified form of it can treat severe pain in cancer patients. This recent scientific discovery would fall under which area of chemistry?
Applied Biochemistry

Pure Organic Chemistry

Pure Physical Chemistry

Applied Inorganic Chemistry

What happens to an electron when it emits a photon
Flura [38]

Answer:

when electron emit the radiations it means it jumped to the lower energy level from higher energy level.

Explanation:

When electron jump into lower energy level from high energy level it loses the energy.

The process is called de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.
