Question

describing the electrons of an atom
use the drop - down menu to complete the statement.
an electron in the first energy level of the electron cloud has
drop - down menu options: a lower energy than, a higher energy than, the same energy as
an electron in the third energy level.

Explanation:

Electron energy levels increase with the principal quantum number (n=1,2,3...). The first energy level (n=1) is closer to the nucleus and has lower energy than outer levels like the third (n=3).

Answer:

a lower energy than
