Sup everyone, i'm workin on the EK chemistry book right now, and i just came across the following question:
Compared to an electron with a principle quantum number of 1, an electron with a principal quantum number of 2 will have:
lower energy
higher energy
negative spin
positive spin
I think the answer is higher energy, but the book tells me that it's lower energy. Can someone explain this concept to me? Thanks a ton.
