Meaning as the electron approaches or moves away from the nucleus a
photon is shed or absorbed.

Incorrect.

The position is not known well enough to be able to say that it moves
toward or away from the nucleus at the time a photon is absorbed or
emitted. The fact is that that the position of the electron is 'uncertain'.

All we know for sure is that the energy level of the electron( and the
quantum numbers associated with the electron) change. The probability
distribution changes. The AVERAGE distance from the nucleus changes. But
the electron, itself, at the moment of emission, may very well NOT move at
all.


Since they can isolate electrons (slit experiment) then likewise by
now they should have figured out when the electron absorbs and when it
emits light.
I believe it only occurs during acceleration and deceleration and
nothing happens at constant velocities.

As well they total energy (including photons) of all reactions as
elements turn into ions and vice-versa


We do know that in molecules, the positions of the nuclii do NOT change
immediately. See the Frank-Condon Principle.

And if I knock off planet Earth, the Sun itself will not be affected
all that much.
