How do the energy gaps between successive electron energy levels in an atom very from low to high n values ?

A

All energy gaps are the same

B

The energy gap decreases as n increases

C

The energ gap increases as n increases

D

the energy gap changes unpredictable as n increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As value of n increases, energy gap decreases due to increasing `Z_(eff)`. On valence shell.
