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.

SHould have and have are different.

I believe it only occurs during acceleration and deceleration and
nothing happens at constant velocities.

Your faith is touching. If electrons were like planets, they would be
constantly undergoing acceleration as they 'fall around the nucleus'.
That is why the Bohr model is so boring.


A wave is constantly varying (thus accelerating and decelerating).

Some parts of a wave may be. There are many different kinds of wave
phenomina.

My main point(beside making a pun) is that the Bohr model predicts a rapid
loss of energy with all electrons collapsing into the nucleus. Bohr could
not explain why orbiting electrons would not radiate constantly.


All we know for sure is that changes in energy state SOMETIMES are
accompanied by emission of photons and that absorption of a photon
results in changes in the energy level(s).



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

Please translate into english.


When you have a chemical reaction....don't they know the total energy
of before and after

Quite often, they do.

(energy = heat from reaction = photons)

Not all energy is manafest as photons.

A chemical reaction may require energy of activation (to get the reactants
across an energy barrier.) It may absorb or give off heat, depending on
whether the products are in a lower energy state than the reactants.

Don't know my chemistry....say 2H+ + O- + E = H2O +....

No.

2H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O + energy


They should know the total energy before and after of chemical
reactions

Those can usually be predicted.

(therefore the total photons produced or absorbed as well)?

Whether or not photons are produced depends on the reaction conditions.
For example, if the reaction takes place inside a fuel cell, the energy
produced is in the form of electromotive force rather than photons.

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.

'do NOT change immediately' does NOT mean 'will not be affected all
that much'. There are effects. The energy levels are immediately
effected but not the positions.


The sun will also be affected and there will be a similar delay
before this occurs.

You may be right, but I recommend that you study physics, chemistry and
math.

Master those subjects before you try the more challenging subjects like
'Elementry Omnipotence and Omniscience', the graduate courses in 'Godhood',
and the PostDoctoral position of 'Master of the Universe'.
