- AS
Understand atomic line spectra in terms of transitions between discrete energy levels and understand how to calculate the frequency of radiation that could be emitted or absorbed in a transition between energy levels.
Use - atomic line spectra and energy levels to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because - atomic line spectra and energy levels determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply - atomic line spectra and energy levels to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: - Atomic line spectra and energy levels is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
