This question mentions that we have an electron that is excited from n equals 1 to n equals 3.
00:08
Of course, there would be an n equals 2 in here also.
00:21
So, which of the following statements are faults? and if they're false, let's correct them.
00:29
It takes more energy to ionize completely remove the electron from n equals 3 than from the ground state.
00:37
Well, to completely ionize will need to go from n equals 3 all the way up to infinity, which requires less energy than going from n equals 1 all the way up to infinity.
00:52
So to state it takes more energy to ionize an electron in n equals 3 is false.
01:00
We would change it to less energy.
01:07
B says the electron is farther from the nucleus on average in n equals.
01:11
Than n equals 1, that's true.
01:15
As we go down in energy, we get closer and closer to the nucleus.
01:20
We could think of the nucleus being closest to the first energy level...
