Question

Energy associated with an orbit .................. as its distance increases from the nucleus.

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. no relation
• D. may increase or decrease depending on distance from the nearest orbit

Answer 1

The correct option is A increases

$E_n=-13.6\frac{Z^2}{n^2}eV$

where n= the energy level or orbit of the atom

As the distance increases, energy associated with an orbit increases.
