An electron moves from a lower to a higher energy - level by absorbing a photon of energy. When it goes from a higher to a lower level, it emits a photon. Changing into another atom with more protons involves nuclear reactions, and losing electric charge or giving off a photon when moving to a higher level is incorrect.
