Energy level

The video explains the concept of energy levels in atoms, where electrons can move between these levels but cannot exist in between them. The energy levels are lowest in the innermost shells near the nucleus and increase as the shells move further away.

What are energy levels in the context of electrons?

• The amount of energy an electron can absorb

• The distance between electrons

• Specific states where electrons can exist

• The speed at which electrons move

How can electrons transition between energy levels?

• By moving continuously between levels

• By jumping from one level to another

• By staying in a fixed position

• By changing their charge

Why can't electrons exist in an in-between energy state?

• Because they are attracted to the nucleus

• Because energy levels are fixed

• Because they are always in motion

• Because they lose energy rapidly

Where are the lowest energy levels located in an atom?

• In the outermost shells

• In the innermost shells

• In the middle shells

• Equally distributed across all shells

What happens to the energy level of electron shells as they move further from the nucleus?

• It remains the same

• It decreases

• It fluctuates

• It increases
