some atoms have two diferent orbitals.
Note an orbitali a probability cloud that means the electrons changes position continually in the orbital.
so the electron losse mass as it changes position to get closer to the nucleous.
An atom contains more than one electron having different masses levels at different position relative to nucleous.Photon was just a mathematical conjecture.

Borh's atom model was too simplistic.
So why can more then one electron loose mass at the same time in the form of so called Photons.

Particles are emitted in pairs when it is necessary to maintain parity. For example, virtual particles are always created as particle-antiparticle pairs. Photons have no spin, charge, or other polarity, so there is no parity to preserve. When an electron drops to a lower energy level, the energy is emitted in the form of a single photon.

Why should photons be emitted in pairs?

When an electron moves up to a higher energy level, the atom is said to be in the "excited" state. However, this state of excitement will not last long. Electrons have a natural tendency to try to find the lowest energy state possible, known as the "ground" state. At its first opportunity, the electron will drop down into a lower orbital position and with it, give up its extra energy in the form of a photon.

The emitted photon will carry away specific amounts of energy from the atom depending on the number of energy levels the excited electron drops. There are multiple paths for the electron to take depending on the amount of energy being absorbed or released.

In order for two photons of light to be emitted by the same atom, two electron would have to jump down a level, or a single electron would need to jump down, emit a photon, then downward jump again to emit another photon.

A photon comes out of an atom when an electron drops from an orbital with high energy to one with lower energy. To emit two atoms, either two electrons would drop or one would drop through two stages. Neither is a likely scenario, but they are certainly possible.

When a quanta of energy bumps an electron into an excited state, eventually the electron relaxes into its native state releasing the quanta of energy in the form of a photon.
This phenomena is decoupled from the electro valient association that drives chemical reactions and is purely a temporary state for the excited electron.

Photons: It develop into too warm initially for even subatomic debris to exist. because the Fireball better (sorry, couldn't withstand) the temperature decreased adequate for lots of the skill to condense into remember, subatomic debris, then electrons and protons, finally hydrogen atoms and neutrons.

What is your reason for thinking that there should be pairs? If you give your reason, we may be able to help you understand where you went wrong.
