Question

state whether the statement about the relative potential energies of the principle shells is true or false. n=3 has less potential energy n=5 choose n=2 has less potential energy n=1 false true n=2 has more potential energy n=3 choose n=5 has more potential energy n=2 choose n=6 has the same potential energy as n=7 choose

Explanation:

In atomic structure, the higher the principal - quantum number (n) of a shell, the higher its potential energy. So, a shell with a larger n value has more potential energy than a shell with a smaller n value. Different n values correspond to different energy levels.

Answer:

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. True
5. False
