Energy difference between the energy levels far away from the nucleus is _ the energy difference between the energy levels near to the nucleus.
Correct answer: B. Smaller than
- A. Greater than
- B. Smaller than
- C. Equal to
- D. Very close to
Explanation
The energy difference between the energy levels far away from the nucleus is smaller than the energy difference between the energy levels near to the nucleus.This is because the electric force between the electron and the nucleus gets stronger as the electron gets closer to the nucleus. This stronger force pulls the electron closer to the nucleus, which brings the energy levels closer together.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
