Light and Atoms the protons and neutrons is surrounded by circles that represent the energy levels electrons In this activity, we will use a representation of the atom in which a central nucleus containing can occupy. 1) Draw an atom including a nucleus and five energy levels that electrons could occupy. Use a dot to represent an electron at the lowest energy level. in about 71 One way an atom emits light (photons) occurs when an electron drops down from a higher energy level (also referred to as an excited state) to a lower energy level (the lowest energy level is referred to as the ground state). 3) In which case does an atom emit more energy (circle one)? inborn 2) Will an atom emit light if all of the atom's electrons are in the ground state? Explain your reasoning.

Explain your reasoning. An electron drops down from the first excited state to the ground state. An electron drops down from the third excited state to the ground state
