Electrons in an atom can only occupy specific energy levels; they cannot have arbitrary energies. This is known as quantization of energy. When an electron moves between levels, it absorbs or emits a fixed amount of energy (photon) corresponding to the difference between the levels. This principle underlies atomic spectra and quantum mechanics.
Energy of an electron in an atom is____?
