Atomic Structure Question 230
Question: The maximum energy is present in any electron at
Options:
A) Nucleus
B) Ground state
C) First excited state
D) Infinite distance from the nucleus
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
As a result of attraction, some energy is released. So at infinite distance from the nucleus energy of any electron will be maximum. For bringing electrons from $ \infty $ to the orbital of any atom some work has to be done be electrons hence it bill loose its energy for doing that work.
