Basic science question... I need help soon please!?

Question

To move a shell farther from the nucleus, an electron must (absorb /release) energy; energy is (absorbed/released) when an electron moves to a closer shell (what are the correct terms in the parenthesis)?

Answer 1

I'm only a begginer in Science (1st year) but i do know that when electrons absorb energy they expand (probably pushing the shell further away)

Answer 2

absorbed sound correct to me??

Answer 3

Shake it baby!

Answer 4

An electron must absorb energy if it is to jump to a shell farther out. If it is moving in to a lower-energy orbit, it has to release energy.
