Question

Which of the following statements is true about energy quantization at the atomic level?

Electrons in the outermost orbits are the most stable.
Electrons in all the orbits around the nucleus have the same amount of energy.
Electrons in the orbit closest to the nucleus have the least amount of energy.
Electrons absorb or release the same amount of energy independent of the energy levels.

Answer 1

I think it might be C.) but im not sure

Answer 2

I think it is B,

"Explanation:Electrons can be present at any location inside the electron cloud.

Electrons are present in distinct energy levels around the nucleus.

Electrons are present in the free space in between two energy levels"

Answer 3

Hmmm ok thanks

Answer 4

np

Answer 5

I agree with the original proposed solution of C

Electrons closer to the nucleus have less energy since the electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons is larger closer to the nucleus.

B is incorrect for the reasons stated above. Electrons *do not* have the same energy in all orbits, as electrons that orbit closer to the nucleus have less energy.

Answer 6

Ok thats what i was thinking thank you!
