Question

As the number of orbit increases from the nucleus, the difference between the adjacent energy levels
A.increases
B.decreases
C.remains constant
D.none of these

Answer 1

energy level decrease because distance between orbit become small I think it helps you

Answer 2

The adjacent energy levels decreases when the number of orbit increases from the nucleus.

Explanation:

We know that the energy levels of an electron around the nucleus is represented by

En= me⁴Z²\8n²h²∈0²

So ,when the n increases, energy between the consecutive levels will decreases.

As the distance of orbit increase from the nucleus increases, the levels get closer together and contain more-energetic electrons and they will degenerate.

Hence ,

Option B.decreases is correct.
