Question

Which of the following is correct about the energy of the shells in an atom?
(A) M > L > K
(B) M < L < K
(C) K > M > L
(D) M > K > L

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is M>L> K(A)

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

(A) M > L > K

● Explanation -

• Shells of an atom are labelled by letters as K, L, M, N from inward to outward. i.e. numbered as 1, 2, 3, 4.
• As we go from inward to outward, energy level increases.
• Therefore, in regard to energy level -

K < L < M < N

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
