Energy of Electrons

[Brittney Hun 2C]

Does the energy of an electron increase when it moves up an energy level/orbital?

[Sion Hwang 4D]

The electron is at a higher energy state, because electrons move up the orbital level when they are excited by an external energy source.
The electrons can move down energy orbitals by releasing energy in the form of a photon.

The energy of an electron does increase when it moves up an energy level.

[Ashley Nguyen 2L]

The energy of an electron increases when it moves up an energy level. This is because energy, in the form of a photon, can excite an electron to a higher state. Conversely, when an electron moves down an energy level, it loses energy.

[Lauren Tanaka 1A]

The energy of an electron increases when it moves up an energy level. This is because the electron goes to a higher energy state and are excited by an external energy source which allows them to move up the energy level.

[Kassidy Ford 1I]

It is kind of confusing because the electrons closest to the nucleus take more energy to remove from the atom. so how come electrons in shells that are further away have more energy?

[kristi le 2F]

Electrons have higher energy when they are at a higher energy level because it requires more energy for them to be farther from the positive pull of the nucleus.
