The light emitted from a flame is produced when electrons in an excited state (1) absorb energy as they move to lower energy states (2) absorb energy as they move to higher energy states (3) release energy as they move to lower energy states (4) release energy as they move to higher energy states

THIS USER ASKED 👇

The light emitted from a flame is produced when electrons in an excited state (1) absorb energy as they move to lower energy states (2) absorb energy as they move to higher energy states (3) release energy as they move to lower energy states (4) release energy as they move to higher energy states

THIS IS THE BEST ANSWER 👇

Electrons in their ground state absorb energy when excited and move to higher energy states.
Absorption is when electrons absorb energy and 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 emits light from a flame
The answer is correct
Release energy as they move to lower energy states
