The Quantum Atom

According to the Bohr model of the atom, the single electron of a hydrogen atom circles the nucleus

• in specific, allowed orbits.
• in one fixed orbit at all times.
• at any of an infinite number of distances, depending on its energy.
• counterclockwise.

A line spectrum is produced when an electron moves from one energy level

• into the nucleus.
• to another position in the same sublevel.
• to a higher energy level.
• to a lower energy level.
