Question

Describe the relationship between the nucleus and energy levels of an atom.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The energy of an electron depends on its location with respect to the nucleus of an atom. The higher the energy of an electron in an atom, the farther is its most probable location from the nucleus.

Answer 2

Answer:

The energy of each electron within the atom depends not only on its interaction with the positively charged nucleus, but also on its interaction with the other electrons in the atom. Therefore, the energies of the electrons of one element will differ from the energies of the electrons of another element.
