Question 2.
The diagram shows a hydrogen atom. An electron, initially in the third energy level of the atom,
transitions to the first energy level, emitting a particle at the same time. What kind of particle is emitted
in this process?

a. proton
b. An electron
c. A neutron
d. A neutrino
e. A photon

Question 3

The diagram shows an electrically neutral atom. If one of the electrons in the innermost shell were to
absorb a photon and move into an excited state, which of the electron shells shown in the diagram
could it move to?

a. Shell 2
b. Shell 3

Question 4

Each of the following diagrams shows a hydrogen atom that is initially in an excited state. In each case,
