Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which energy level has the highest amount of energy?
A
first shell (closest the nucleus)
B
second shell
C
third shell (farthest from nucleus)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, N shell has maximum energy associated with it as it is the farthest.

Detailed explanation-2: -The electrons in the energy level farthest from the nucleus are called valence electrons. Atoms in the same column (group) in the periodic table have the same number of valence electrons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hint:According to Bohr’s Atomic Model, the shell which is closer to the nucleus has lower energy and the shell which is away from the nucleus has higher energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -The “K” shell is the one closest to the nucleus, and “Q” is the farthest away. For simple atoms, those “n” values usually match the row number on the periodic table and are also known as energy levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -The third shell can hold 32 electrons. Within the shells, electrons are further grouped into subshells of four different types, identified as s, p, d, and f in order of increasing energy.
