Question

With the increase in the radius of the orbit, the energy of an electron _______.

Answer 1

1. Orbits are the regions in which electrons revolve around the nucleus in an atom.
2. Energy of orbits: It depends on the distance of orbit from the nucleus. The energy of orbit increases as we move away from the nucleus.
3. Hence, with the increase in the radius of the orbit, the energy of an electron increases.
