Solution Summary

The energy levels of the atoms are investigated. The response is detailed and received a rating of '5/5' from the student who originally posted the question.

Solution Preview

The energy level is determined not only by n but also by l.

In atoms with a single electron (essentially the hydrogen atom), the energy of an orbital (and, consequently, of any electrons in the orbital) is determined exclusively by n. The n = 1 orbital has the lowest possible energy in the atom. Each successively higher value of n has a higher level of energy, but the difference ...
