The main principal quantum number (n) depends on the average relative distance of an electron from the nucleus. The farther away from the nucleus, the greater value for n and the greater the energy.

How can a single electron in a hydrogen atoms produce all of the lines found in the emission spectrum?
The electron has several possible energy levels. One of the lines corresponds to a transition from level 2 to level 1, another from level 3 to level 1, another from level 4 to level 1, another from level 3 to level 2, etc.
How many electrons can an atom's fourth outer energy level contain?
The fourth outer energy level of an atom can contain a maximum of 32 electrons. This is because each energy level can hold a maximum of 2n^2 electrons, where n is the principal quantum number of the energy level. In this case, the fourth energy level has a principal quantum number of 4, so it can hold 2(4^2) = 32 electrons.
What is the ionization energy level for N?
The first ionization energy for nitrogen is 1402 kilojoules/mole
How many electrons can be held in the second energy level of atoms and how can this be determined?
first energy level contains only S shell that can accomadate 2 electrons where as 2nd energy level contains S shell and P shell as well which can accomadate 2 and 6(3X2) electrons respectively..so the answer is 8 for 2nd energy level. (or) No.of electrons in any main energy level = 2n2 Here n = orbit (or energy level) number In our question , n = 2 No.of electrons in 2nd energy level = 2(2)2 = 8
Where is the shell that has the lowest energy level?
This electron shell is near the atomic nucleus.
Maximum number of electrons in each energy level?
2n2 where n is the energy level
How many electrons can each level hold?
Maximum of 2n2, where n is the energy level.
How many electrons does each of the levels of an atom hold?
Maximum of 2n2 where n is the energy level
What are the number of electrons in each energy level of aluminum?
n = 1: 2 electrons n = 2: 8 electrons n = 3: 3 electrons
Do plants depend on other organisms for energy?
n
Which level in energy has the less energy n equals 4 n equals 3 n equals 2 n equals 1?
n=1 is the the lowest level there is.
How are orbitals and energy levels related?
The principal quantum number, n, designates the main energy levels occupied by electrons. The number of orbitals in an energy level is n2 (n squared), so that the first energy level, n = 1, contains 1 orbital; the second energy level, n = 2, contains 4 orbitals; the third energy level, n= 3, has 9 orbitals; and the fourth energy level, n=4, has 16 orbitals, and so on.
What element has three electrons in energy level n 4?
Gallium is the element has three electrons in energy level n = 4.
The main energy level of an atom are indicated by the?
by the quantum number n. if n=1 energy level is at 1 if n=2 energy level is 2 for example 2s1
WhAt is the ending of the electron configuration of each element in group 4?
(n-1)d2ns2, where n is the energy level. For example, Titanium's ending electron configuration is 3d24s2.
How many electrons on the fifth orbit?
The formula to determine the number of electrons in an energy level is 2n2, where n is the number of the energy level. For the fifth energy level, n=5. So the total number of electrons possible in the fifth energy level is 2(52) = 50.
What is the number of the principal energy level in which of the valence electrons are found?
the inner energy level of an atom has a maximum # of
