Edgcse Aap Sp6c Homework1

The document is a homework assignment focused on the behavior of electrons in atoms, including their movement between orbits when absorbing or emitting energy. It includes questions about diagrams representing the same element, the overall charge of an atom, and models of the atom such as Rutherford and Bohr. Students are asked to analyze diagrams and provide explanations based on their understanding of atomic structure and electron behavior.
