Which of the following statements is correct?
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. At infinity, the electron is not attracted by nucleus and potential energy is zero
- B. At a point, near the nucleus, its potential energy is less than zero
- C. With the increase of n-value the potential energy increases
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Since options (A), (B), and (C) are all correct statements regarding the potential energy of an electron in an atom under different conditions, option (D), stating that all of the above statements are correct, is also correct.

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.
