Description:
Electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits, an electron in a particular orbit has constant energy. An electron can absorb energy and move to a higher energy orbit of larger radius. An excited electron can fall back to its original orbit by emitting energy as radiation. Electrons can only exist in certain discrete energy levels.
