Choose the correct option regarding:
Assertion: Energy of the orbital decreases with increase of ' 
'.
Reason: Energy is required in shifting away the negatively charged electron from positively charged nucleus.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Assertion is wrong, reason is correct as we move away from the nucleus, in atom the potential energy of electron increase, as the value of 
increase the distance from nucleus increase, consequently the kinetic energy of the electron decreases, but total energy as whole increases.
