10. Electron ENERGY LEVELS
The energy of the electron has a minimum value and all other energy values of it are integer multiples (n) of this minimum.
E = n (min. value) n= positive integer (1,2,3,4…)
Analogy: Money has a minimum value of 1 penny ($0.01) and all other coins or bills are restricted to integer values of this minimum:
$ = n (0.01) n = a positive integer (1,2,3,4…)
Example: you can hand someone 75 ($0.01)=$0.75
but not 75.5 ($0.01)=$0.755
Max Planck
The name given to this minimum value is quantum and we say that energy is quantized. Therefore, the energy of an e- can only have a specific value based on the positive integer, n.

wavelength
E ∝ 1 
If the wavelength of this radiation lies in the visible range, we see a colored light.

12. Electrons in lowest available energy level = ground state.
By absorbing E, the e- is raised to a higher energy level called the excited state.
An e- loses energy when it falls to a lower energy level and emits a photon (E carrier).
The photon travels in space as a wave. The energy of the wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength.
E∝ 1 λ

20. Exceptions to the Aufbau order
In describing the ground state electron configuration the guiding idea is that it corresponds to an isolated atom in its lowest total energy.
1. The orbital energies depend on a number of factors such as nuclear charge and interactions of electrons in different occupied orbitals.
2. The energy scale varies with atomic number. In other words, all atoms of a given element have the same set of energy levels, but atoms of different elements have different sets.
3. Some orbitals are very close together, so their order can change, depending on the occupancies of other orbitals.
The only exceptions you are asked to remember are those based on the special stability of filled or half-filled d-orbitals.
