Complete this sentence: Atoms absorb visible and ultraviolet light?

Question

A) as electrons jump from lower energy levels to higher levels.
B) as the atoms condense from a gas to a liquid.
C) as electrons jump from higher energy levels to lower levels.
D) as they are heated and the solid melts to form a liquid.

Answer 1

Its A, as an atom absorbs visible and ultraviolet light, energy is given to the electrons. The electrons are then excited and they jump to a higher energy level.

Answer 2

A.

Jumping up an energy level requires energy, which is provided by light of all kinds colliding with the atom. Likewise, when an electron drops an energy level, it emits a photon, the smallest unit of light.
