Best Answer

The concept of quantized energy levels, first proposed by Neils Bohr, states that electrons can only exist in certain possible energy levels, which he pictured as orbits around a nucleus since the energy of an electron is proportional to its distance from the nucleus.

In what way electrons quantized?

They have fixed energy values.


What are the Three examples of properties that are quantized at the scale of an electron?

Electrical charge is quantized. (negative in an electron, as an electron has exactly -1 fundamental unit of charge) The other two would be the energy levels in the atoms and the emitted energy.


Is electron emits energy when it revolves in quantized orbit?

No. A quantized orbit means the energy is locked in as a constant. It would have to switch to a different orbit to emit energy.


What is the explanation for the discrete lines in atomic emissions spectra?

e- absorb energy and move to an orbital of higher energy. Falls back down to lower energylevels releasing the energy. The lines result from the fact that e-'s can only have discrete/quantized energy levels, they cannot have intermediate energy levels.


Bohr suggested that the energy of electrons in atoms is?

Quantized. (Number 4 if you are using what I think you are using.)

What does it mean when energy is quantized?

when it is said that energy is quantized, it means that...you can have X, 2X, 3X, 4X, etc. energyyou can't have 1.5X, 2.2X. 3.9X, piX, etcHOPE THIS HELPS:)
