The following diagram below is an approximation of subshell energies for the neon atom. Note the number of orbital or the number of electrons is not shown. A neon lamp is constructed using two electrons enclosed in a glass shell that is filled with 99.5% neon gas at a pressure of 1-20 torr. When electricity is passed through the lamp, an electron is excited to a higher energy level. Photons of light are released when the electron falls back to its original energy level. Identify which energy levels are involved in this process.
