Question

How does the energy of the electron change as the orbit number increases?

विकल्प

• It becomes more negative.

• It is zero in every orbit.

• It becomes less negative.

• It stays at the ground state energy.

Answer 1

The energy becomes less negative as the orbit number increases. For example, it changes from \[-13.6\,\mathrm{eV}\] in the first orbit to \[-3.40\,\mathrm{eV}\] in the second.
