(02.03 LC) Which of the following statements is true about energy quantization at the atomic level? (5 points) 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. Electrons prefer to be present as far away from the nucleus as possible.
Answers
Answer:
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.
The correct option is B due to the following reasons:
- According to the Electron cloud model, There are specific areas know as orbits in which electrons are more likely to be exist.
- Energy levels contain specific amount of energy. Different energies are occupied by electrons.A fixed number of electrons are contained by each shell or the orbit .
- Between the free space of two different energy levels electron are not found as they are present within the orbits because electrons cannot move freely .
- As electrons are negatively charged and nucleus is positively charged. So, They attract each other and electrons prefer to stay close to the nucleus.
- So, The correct option is (B)
