Consider a hypothetical atom with three energy levels: , , and . An electron can transition between any two levels. Which transition will result in the emission of a photon with the shortest wavelength?
All transitions emit photons with the same wavelength.
What is the atomic number of an element, and why is it significant?
The number of neutrons; it determines the element's mass.
The number of electrons; it determines the element's charge.
The number of protons; it defines the element's identity.
The number of nucleons; it determines the element's stability.

According to Bohr's atomic model, what is a fundamental property of electron energy levels?
They are continuous and can take any value.
They are quantized, meaning electrons can only occupy specific energy levels.
They are randomly distributed around the nucleus.
They decrease with increasing distance from the nucleus.
