    Question

    Electron revolves around nucleus in orbits which have-

    A.

    Infinite energy

    B.

    Variable energy

    C.

    Fixed energy

    D.

    No energy

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Fixed energy.
    · Electrons revolve around the nucleus in specific orbits or shells that have fixed energy levels.
    · This concept is based on Bohr’s model of the atom, which states that electrons can only occupy certain energy levels, not in between them.
    · These fixed energy levels prevent the electrons from spiraling into the nucleus, as they maintain a stable orbit.
    · When an electron moves between orbits, it absorbs or releases energy equal to the difference between the two energy levels.
    Information Booster:
    · Energy Levels or Shells: These are denoted as K, L, M, N shells, where K has the lowest energy and is closest to the nucleus.
    · Quantum Jump: When electrons move between energy levels, they absorb or emit photons corresponding to the energy gap.
    · Bohr’s Postulate: This model of fixed energy orbits explains atomic stability and the emission spectrum.
    · Stationary States: These fixed orbits are also known as stationary states because electrons do not lose energy while in a stable orbit.
