Which outcome occurs within a molecule when an electron spontaneously jumps orbitals?

💡 Explanation

When an electron transitions to a lower energy orbital, energy is conserved by the Photon Emission mechanism; because this requires the emission of a particular wavelength of light, therefore a photon is emitted, rather than the other options which involve nuclear or kinetic changes.
