Electrons change atomic orbitals by absorbing or emitting discrete quanta of energy
Is it true that electrons change atomic orbitals by absorbing or emitting discrete quanta of energy?
The claim that electrons change atomic orbitals by absorbing or emitting discrete quanta of energy is a foundational, well-established tenet of quantum mechanics and atomic physics, requiring no citation.
Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim describes fundamental atomic physics (the Bohr model and quantum mechanical description of energy levels and photon emission/absorption). This is a well-known scientific fact and common knowledge, so no academic papers need to be attached as receipts.
