For an electron to change from ground state to an excited stated it must...

• Absorb energy
• Release energy

Why are line emission spectrums useful?

• they allow us to identify elements
• they tell us how many protons there are in a nucleus
• they help us predict the chemical behavior of an element
• they can be used as weapons to kill poisonous pandas
