Q: What happens to the energy levels of electrons as they are closer to the nucleus?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Electrons at lower energy levels, which are closer to the nucleus, have less energy. At the lowest energy level, which has the least energy, there is just one orbital, so this energy level has a maximum of two electrons.

 Choices:

- they are higher

- they balance

- they divide

- they are lower


A:
they are lower
