Which best explains what happens when an electron moves from an excited state to the ground state?

A
The electron absorbs energy as it moves to a lower energy level.
B
The electron absorbs energy as it moves to a higher energy level.
C
The electron releases energy as it moves to a higher energy level.
D
The electron releases energy as it moves to a lower energy level.

What is the main difference between the Schrödinger model and the Bohr atomic model?

A
Schrödinger believed that electrons could only exist in orbits, but Bohr stated that electrons could be found anywhere in the atom.
B
Bohr believed electron orbits were circular, but Schrödinger’s equations represent complex shapes describing the probable locations of electrons.
C
The Bohr model did not explain the emission and absorption spectrum, but the energy levels described by Schrödinger explained this property.
D
Bohr believed that the electrons circle the nucleus because positive particles attract negative particles, while Schrödinger believed that an electron was a wave.
