The main energy levels are also known as the electron shells of an atom. An electron is permitted to be around an atom.
Characterize each of the following as absorption or emission?
Quantum numbers specify the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals. The first three quantum numbers result from solutions to the Schrodinger equation. They indicate the main energy levels, the shape, and the orientation of an orbital.-source: "Modern Chemistry" text book Pg.107
Chloride is an ion, not an atom. It has 18 electrons which are 2, 8, 8 in the first three quantum levels respectively.
Unfortunately it's hard to tell what you're asking. The answer may be that the energy levels are mainly determined by the first two quantum numbers; the other two quantum numbers are degenerate in the absence of a magnetic field. If that's not what you were looking for please ask again, but be a little clearer what you mean.
When an atom gains or loses energy, electrons are the subatomic particles that jump between energy levels. Electrons exist in distinct energy levels or shells around the atomic nucleus. These energy levels are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy specific orbits. When an atom absorbs energy, typically in the form of light or heat, electrons can move to a higher energy level (excited state). Conversely, when an electron loses energy, it returns to a lower energy level (ground state) by emitting energy, often in the form of light. This process is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics and is described by the Bohr model for simple atoms and the more accurate quantum mechanical model for complex atoms. In the quantum mechanical model, electrons are described by wave functions, and their behavior is probabilistic, reflecting the uncertainty principle.

transition of a charged particle between energy levels.
The energy levels and orbitals the electrons are in
We know that there are discrete levels energy levels because of the light that comes off of an excited atom.
The quantum theory of energy levels within atoms was aided by the emission spectrum. When excited with light, different elements emitted photons of different frequencies. The frequencies were different because the energy difference from excited to low energy state was different depending on the element.
A quantum leap is the smallest possible change that an electron can make in an atom. It involves a discrete jump in energy levels when an electron transitions from one orbit to another. The size of a quantum leap is determined by the difference in energy levels between the initial and final states of the electron.
the first one because it is closer to the nucleus. :)
when data shows electron energy levels are not related to light wavelengths.
Energy excess is released. Lower levels have lower energy
