Solution
The correct option is D N orbital
The energy of the outermost orbital is highest. The energy of the electron increases when the electron moves from K to L, M, N orbits respectively.
In the given options N is the outermost orbit and has the highest energy. Electrons in outer shells have higher average energy and travel farther from the nucleus than those in inner shells.
N orbital
The energy of the outermost orbital is highest. The energy of the electron increases when the electron moves from K to L, M, N orbits respectively.
In the given options N is the outermost orbit and has the highest energy. Electrons in outer shells have higher average energy and travel farther from the nucleus than those in inner shells.
