Caffeine by ynse on Flickr	Electrons that are bound to atoms possess a set of stable energy levels, or orbitals, and can undergo transitions between them by absorbing or emitting photons that match the energy differences between the levels. The electrons determine the chemical properties of an element, and strongly influence an atom's magnetic properties. Slide Options : Move UP,   DOWN,   DELETE,   Insert BLANK Slide
