|
|
first shell (closest the nucleus)
|
|
|
second shell
|
|
|
third shell (farthest from nucleus)
|
|
|
None of the above
|
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chemists use an “n” value, or the letters K, L, M, N, O, P, and Q. 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-4: -A: Electrons with the most energy would be found in energy level IV .
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.
