Solution

The correct option is A remains constant
The electrons will not radiate or absorb energy as long as they continue to revolve around the nucleus in a particular shell. Energy of each electron in a shell is fixed. Therefore, the energy of an electron remains constant in a particular shell.

Q. As long as an electron is in a particular orbit, the electron can never lose its energy on its own.

Q. (a) As long as an electron revolves in a particular orbit, the electron does not lose its energy. Therefore, these orbits are called stationary orbits and the electrons are said to be in stationary energy states.
(b) Each orbit or shell is associated with a definite amount of energy. Hence these are also called energy levels.
(c) An electron jumps from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, by absorbing energy. It jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, by emitting energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
(d) Electrons move around the nucleus in specified circular paths called orbits or shells or energy levels and are designated as K, L, M, N shells respectively.

Arrange the above postulates of Bohr's theory in a correct sequence:

Q. As long as electron is in a particular orbit, electron can never lose its energy on its own.

Q. Assertion: For hydrogen like species, energy of an electron in a particular orbit increases with increase in value of Z.
Reason: Electronegativity decreases across a period from left to right.

Q. The amount of energy released when an atom in the gaseous state accepts an electron to form an anion. factor which affect electron affinity are: atomic size and Nuclear charge. As atomic radii increases, electron affinity increase. As nuclear charge increase, electron affinity increase. it decrease down a group and increases across a period. Explain.
