EASY PHYSICS!!

which of the following electrons absorbs the MOST energy?

an electron moving 1 energy level farther from the nucleus
an electron moving 2 energy levels closer to the nucleus
an electron moving 2 energy levels farther from the nucleus
an electron moving 1 energy level closer to the nucleus

Respuesta :

The answer would be C, an electron moving 2 energy levels farther from the nucleus. This is because electron's further from the nucleus are held more weakly by the nucleus, and thus can be removed by spending less energy. Hence why it would have higher energy.
