They are are allowed in only specific energy quanta.

well, first it only has one electron.
The spectrum gives you possible energy levels (states or orbit radius) for that electron.

the spectrum is the result of hydrogen's electron transitioning between energy levels
the levels are fixed
... quantized (per bob)
