Question

As the quantum number increases, the difference of energy between conservative energy levels____.

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains the same
• D. Increases and then decreases.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Decreases

Quantum number:

1. Energy of a given atomic orbital is therefore proportional to the inverse square of the principal quantum number i.e.,$E_n\propto \frac{1}{n^2}$.
2. Quantum numbers are the set of numbers used to describe the position and energy of an electron in an atom.
3. There are four types of quantum numbers: principal, azimuthal, magnetic, and spin.
4. Quantum numbers represent the values of a quantum system's conserved quantities.

Hence, Option(B) is correct.
