Question

Which is the correct explanation for different atoms having unique emission spectra when energy is put into them? (1 point)

Each element's electrons are made of unique colors that reflect certain frequencies of light.

Each element has a certain number of positive and negative charges, and when these charges interact with energy, they release different amounts of electromagnetic
radiation in the form of light.

Each atom has a unique amount of gravity, which refracts light, so it has certain frequencies.

Each element has unique energy levels from which atoms release energy as electromagnetic radiation when excited electrons move to lower energy levels.

The correct explanation is:

**Each element has unique energy levels from which atoms release energy as electromagnetic radiation when excited electrons move to lower energy levels.**

This is because each element has a distinct arrangement of electrons and energy levels, resulting in a unique set of frequencies of light being emitted when the electrons transition between these energy levels after being energized.
