Every thing you said is mostly correct according to what I think. A couple of things little things where a little off what I would have said. Firstly you started by asking how do we see an electron. Then you started talking about energy levels. From the energy levels we will see energy emissions when the electron is jumping inwards. These are of cause at different frequencies (f = E/h) as you said and only some of them only can be seen. All we see there is energy emissions (often called Photon's) but not at all the Electron. We see some indications of where the electron was when it emitted that amount of energy but not exactly. At 8:50 you said something that is correct but a little strange to talk about I think as we mainly talked about the electron. You said that when the electron jumps free it becomes a positive Proton. Yes the Atom does but the electron stays a negative entity. Again you started by talking about seeing the electron. The only way I know of that we can vaguely see it is by using much higher than visible light. I believe they have made laser pulses in the 10^18 (atto) range that has been able to get fuggy pictures of electrons but that is it. You ended up by asking about the energy of an electron in it's base (lowest energy) position. I am not quite sure about how they have worked it out but it might be from measuring it's free flying mass as they do by seeing how much it bends off in a known magnetic field at a known speed - all done as a free electron in vacuum. That would give the free electron's energy (= mass * c^2) and then it should be possible to calculate down using all possible energy releases when the electron get's back to it's inner position.

Good analysis…you noticed some misstatements such as looking at electrons and really the effects of electrons
Hey Mr. Welles, what’s the best way to reach out to you. I have a video I’m working on that I think you would fit very well into.
Hi @CloutySkies2,
We can communicate initially with these comments…maybe leading to a live UA-cam session…I’m anxious to hear more details!!!
Now that I know who are try messaging me on Facebook!
