Question

Shell closest to the nucleus carries the maximum amount of energy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Bohr-Bury Scheme-

• The distribution of electrons in the energy levels is given with the help of the Bohr Bury scheme, which is mentioned below.
• The energy levels or energy shells are filled in order of increasing energy.
• The maximum number of electrons in any shell is given as 2n², where n is the number of shells.
• First, the inner shells are completely filled then only the filling of new shells starts.
• As we move to shells away from the nucleus the energy increases.

Hence, the given statement is false.
