= Atomic electron transition
{wiki=Atomic_electron_transition}
Atomic electron transition refers to the process by which an electron in an atom moves from one energy level (or state) to another. This transition can occur when an electron absorbs or emits energy, typically in the form of photons (light quanta). The fundamental aspects of atomic electron transitions can be summarized as follows: 1. **Energy Levels**: Electrons exist in discrete energy levels or orbitals around the nucleus of an atom. Each level corresponds to a specific energy state.
